ARTICLE 4. TAXES
4.01 Payment of Real Property Taxes by Tenant. After the Commencement Date, Landlord shall endeavor to effectuate the recognition of the Premises by the appropriate taxing entities as a separate parcel for purposes of the assessment of Taxes (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in all reasonable respects in this regard. If Landlord is unable to cause the Premises to be separately assessed, then Landlord shall work with Skagit County to cause the County, if possible, with respect to each tax parcel on which any portion of the Premises are located, to make an allocation between the area leased by Tenant and the area retained by Landlord. For any parcel of the Refinery that is currently designated as having an “Open Space Farm and Agricultural” use, Tenant will be responsible for the payment of all taxes, penalties and interest that becomes due and payable based on a change in use, and will pay such amount to Landlord (or directly to Skagit County, if so directed) within thirty (30) days of the delivery of Landlord’s invoice therefor accompanied by reasonably detailed supporting documentation. If Skagit County is able to make an allocation between “Open Space Farm and Agricultural” use and commercial uses with respect to any tax parcel that is currently designated for such open use, then Landlord will be responsible for the payment of taxes for that portion of the parcel that continues to be designated for open use, and Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of taxes for that portion of the parcel that is newly designated for commercial uses; such allocation may not be evident on tax statements received from Skagit County, but may be available through the Skagit County Assessor’s Office. With respect to any parcel on which improvements are located, but with respect to which there has not been a segregation made by Skagit County, the parties shall make good faith efforts to allocate the value of the improvements between those owned by Landlord and those owned by Tenant, so as to appropriately allocate the liability for taxes payable based on the value of

Thereafter Tenant shall pay all charges for electricity serving the Premises directly to the Utility provider. Until such time as electricity is separately metered to the Premises, electricity to the Premises shall continue to be interconnected to Landlord’s utility infrastructure, and shall be provided to Tenant and paid for in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as all other Utilities are provided to Tenant.

9.01 Tenant’s Right to Encumber. Tenant may, at any time and from time to time, encumber the leasehold interest, by deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, but no such encumbrance constitutes a lien on Landlord’s fee title. The indebtedness secured by the encumbrance will at all times be and remain inferior and subordinate to all the conditions, covenants, and obligations of this Lease and to all Landlord’s rights under this Lease.

If such a mechanics’ lien or materialmens’ lien is recorded against the Premises or any buildings or improvements on them, Tenant must either cause it to be released or, if Tenant in good faith wishes to contest the lien, take timely action to do so, at Tenant’s sole expense. If Tenant contests the lien, Tenant will indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from all liability for damages occasioned by the lien or the lien contest and will, in the event of a judgment of foreclosure on the lien, cause the lien to be discharged and released before enforcement of the judgment is completed.

(a) Lease Not Terminated. In the event of a condemnation of any portion of the Premises and if this Lease is not terminated, the award paid by the condemning authority (after payment of expenses incurred in connection with collecting the same) shall be allocated as follows:
(i) First, Tenant shall receive so much of the award as is necessary to restore the Improvements and for the value of the Improvements taken; and
(ii) Second, Landlord shall receive the balance of the award.
(b) Lease Terminated. In the event of a condemnation and this Lease is terminated as herein provided, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the condemning authority to make separate awards to Landlord, on the one hand, and Tenant, on the other hand, as to their respective interests. If the condemning authority does not make such separate awards, then the award paid by the condemning authority (after payment of expenses incurred in connection with collecting the same) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that each party shall receive that portion of the award which bears the same proportion of the total award as the value of such party’s interests in the Premises bears to the total value of all interests in the Premises.

The insurance must be paid for by Tenant and will be in amounts not less than eighty percent (80%) of the full insurable value of the buildings and other improvements. Tenant may self-insure a greater percentage of this coverage if so agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing.

In the event of a conflict of provisions of the Storage Services Agreement and those of the Omnibus Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the ordinary operations of such assets as set forth in the Storage Services Agreement.
ARTICLE 14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE
Tenant may not transfer, assign or sublease its leasehold estate or any portion thereof or any of its right, title or interest in this Lease (collectively, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.

ARTICLE 15. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
15.01 Termination on Default. Except as otherwise specifically noted in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant defaults in performing any covenant or term of this Lease and does not correct the default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant, Landlord may declare this Lease, and all rights and interests created by it, terminated; provided, however, that in the event such default cannot, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord may not exercise its remedies under this Article unless Tenant (i) fails to commence the cure of the default within such thirty (30) day period, or (ii) thereafter fails to proceed with curative measures with reasonable diligence. If Landlord elects to terminate, this Lease will cease as if the day of Landlord’s election were the day originally fixed in the Lease for its expiration, and Landlord or its agent or attorney may resume possession of the Premises.
15.02 Other Remedies. Any termination of this Lease as provided in this Article 15 will not relieve Tenant from paying any sum or sums due and payable to Landlord under the Lease at the time of termination, or any claim for damages then or previously accruing against Tenant under this Lease. Any such termination will not prevent Landlord from enforcing the payment of any such sum or sums or claim for damages by any remedy provided for by law, or from recovering damages from Tenant for any default under the Lease. All Landlord’s rights, options, and remedies under this Lease will be construed to be cumulative, and no one of them is exclusive of the other. Landlord may pursue any or all such remedies or any other remedy or relief provided by law, whether or not stated in this Lease. No waiver by Landlord of a breach of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease may be construed a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Lease.

ARTICLE 19. LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF RECAPTURE
If, during the term of this Lease, Tenant fails or has elected not to operate the Marine Crude Storage Facility for a period of time (but not counting any period of time when the Refinery is not in operation) equal to (a) two (2) years continuously, or (b) a total of two (2) years within any 5-year period, then following the end of such 2-year period of non-operation, and for so long as Tenant has not resumed operating the Marine Crude Storage Facility located on the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to provide Tenant with written notice stating that Landlord has elected to recapture the Premises and terminate this Lease (the “Recapture Notice”). In such event, the Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of the Recapture Notice, as if such date were the date fixed for expiration of this Lease. Landlord shall promptly arrange to have the fair market value of the improvements located on the Premises determined by appraisal, shall have the appraisal completed within sixty (60) days of the date on which the Recapture Notice is given, and shall thereafter provide a copy of such appraisal to Tenant (the “Appraisal Delivery Date”). Within thirty (30) days after the Appraisal Delivery Date (the “Response Date”), Tenant shall notify Landlord (x) that it is in agreement with the fair market value set forth in Landlord’s appraisal, or (b) that it objects to the fair market value set forth in Landlord’s appraisal, in which event it shall provide its own determination of fair market value of the improvements, also as determined by appraisal, when it provides its objection by the Response Date. If Tenant is in agreement with the fair market value determined by Landlord’s appraisal or if Tenant fails to provide an objection by the Response Date, then the amount determined by Landlord’s appraisal shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, in immediately available funds, within ten (10) days following the Response Date. If Tenant objects to the fair market value of the improvements as determined by Landlord’s appraisal and provides notice of such objection to Landlord on or before the Response Date, then within ten (10) days after the Response Date, each of the appraisers initially retained by Landlord and Tenant to make the determination as to the fair market value of the improvements shall appoint a third appraiser to act as arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator shall, within fifteen (15) days after his or her appointment, select as the fair market value of the improvements either the fair market value set forth in Landlord’s appraisal or the fair market value set forth in Tenant’s appraisal and inform both Landlord and Tenant, in writing, of such selection. The Arbitrator shall have no
– 13 –
authority to average the appraised values, or to designate an amount other than the fair market value specified in either Landlord’s appraisal or Tenant’s appraisal. Within ten (10) days following the date on which the parties receive written notice of the Arbitrator’s selection, the amount selected as the fair market value of the improvements shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, in immediately available funds. Following the payment by Landlord to Tenant applicable to the fair market value of the improvements, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights under or obligations arising from this Lease.
The appraisers retained to make a determination regarding the fair market value of the improvements located on the Premises shall each be an MAI certified commercial real estate appraiser conducting business in the Anacortes/Skagit County industrial market and having not less than ten (10) years active experience as an MAI commercial real estate appraiser.
ARTICLE 20. MISCELLANEOUS
20.01 Title Policy and Survey.

EXHIBIT C
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL,
OPTION AGREEMENT
AND
AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE
THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, OPTION AGREEMENT AND AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this day of , 2014, by and between TESORO LOGISTICS OPERATIONS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TLO”), and TESORO REFINING & MARKETING COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TRMC”).
BACKGROUND
A. TLO and TRMC entered into that certain Ground Lease dated July 1, 2014 (the “Ground Lease”) for certain premises located in Skagit County, Washington (the “Marine Crude Storage Facility”). Pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease, TLO has an option to purchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility from TRMC. The legal description of the Marine Crude Storage Facility is set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.
B. TLO validly exercised its option to purchase, and concurrent herewith, TRMC is conveying the Marine Crude Storage Facility to TLO. Pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease (which shall terminate upon the closing of the sale transaction), the parties are to enter into a Right of First Refusal and Option Agreement setting forth the terms upon which TRMC has a right to repurchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility from TLO, in the event that (i) TLO elects to market the Marine Crude Storage Facility and thereafter receives a bona fide offer from a third party to purchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility, or (ii) TLO fails to maintain the Marine Crude Storage Facility in a condition capable of performing in accordance with the terms of that certain Anacortes Storage Services Agreement between TRMC and TLO dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, modified and/or extended).
C. The parties desire to set forth the terms pertaining to the right of first refusal and the option to repurchase, and to provide for a memorandum of agreement to be recorded in the real property records of Skagit County, Washington, giving notice of this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms, conditions, covenants and promises set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, TLO and TRMC hereby agree as follows:
C - 1
| 1. | Right of First Refusal. |
| (a) | Grant of Right of First Refusal. TLO hereby grants to TRMC, and TRMC hereby accepts from TLO, a right of first refusal to purchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility from TLO on the following terms and conditions (the “Right of First Refusal”). |
| (b) | Term of Right of First Refusal; Notification of Third-Party Offer. If TLO elects to sell the Marine Crude Storage Facility during any period of time that the Storage Services Agreement is in effect, and TLO receives a bona fide offer from a third party that it considers acceptable (the “Purchase Offer”), then TLO shall provide written notice to TRMC of the Purchase Offer, which notice shall include a copy of the Purchase Offer. |
| (c) | Exercise of Right of First Refusal. TRMC shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice from TLO in which to give written notice to TLO that TRMC is exercising its Right of First Refusal, agreeing to purchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility on the same terms and conditions as are contained in the Purchase Offer (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice from TRMC must be postmarked within the 30-day period and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or personally delivered (by overnight courier or otherwise) to TLO before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the final day of the 30-day period. The failure of TRMC to exercise its Right of First Refusal by the time and in the manner set forth above shall be deemed to be a termination of this Agreement by TRMC, and TLO shall be free to accept the Purchase Offer. |
| (d) | Continuing Nature of Right of First Refusal. TRMC’s Right of First Refusal to purchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility shall be continuous during the term set forth above. Therefore, if the transaction of which TRMC was previously given notice, and with respect to which TRMC declined to exercise its Right of First Refusal, fails to close, then TLO shall be obligated to provide the notice required by Section 1(b) above with respect to each subsequent Purchase Offer received. |
| (e) | Effect of Exercise of Right of First Refusal. Subject only to the provisions regarding inspection and the examination and acceptance of title to the Marine Crude Storage Facility set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below, TRMC’s Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be an irrevocable election to purchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility on the terms set forth in the Purchase Offer. |
| 2. | Option to Repurchase. |
| (a) | Grant of Option. TLO hereby grants to TRMC, and TRMC hereby accepts from TLO, the right to acquire the Marine Crude Storage Facility on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Option to Repurchase”). |
C - 2
| (b) | Term of Option. TRMC’s right to exercise the Option to Repurchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility as set forth in this Agreement is granted for so long as the Storage Services Agreement remains in effect. |
| (c) | Exercise of Option Rights. In the event that TLO fails to maintain the Marine Crude Storage Facility in a condition capable of performing in accordance with the provisions of the Storage Services Agreement, and TLO thereafter fails to cure such default within the time period provided by the terms of the Storage Services Agreement after written notice specifying the nature of the default is provided by TRMC to TLO, then for so long as TLO remains in default in its capability to perform under the terms of the Storage Services Agreement (a “Default Period”), TRMC may elect, by written notice to TLO that TRMC has elected to exercise the Option to Repurchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility (the “Option Exercise Notice”). The Option Exercise Notice from TRMC must be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or personally delivered (by overnight courier or otherwise) to TLO during a Default Period. TRMC’s failure to exercise the Option to Repurchase during any particular Default Period shall not be a waiver of the Option to Repurchase at any later time that a Default Period exists. |
| (d) | Effect of Exercise. Subject only to the provisions regarding examination and acceptance of title to the Marine Crude Storage Facility set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below, TRMC’s notification to TLO that TRMC is exercising its Option shall be deemed to be an irrevocable election to purchase the Marine Crude Storage Facility pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The date on which TRMC exercises the Option to Repurchase is the “Repurchase Exercise Date.” |
| (e) | Determination of Purchase Price Following Exercise of Option. If TRMC exercises its Option to Repurchase, the purchase price for the Marine Crude Storage Facility (the “Repurchase Price”) shall be determined as follows: |
| (1) | TRMC and TLO shall each have the Marine Crude Storage Facility appraised to determine its fair market value as of the Repurchase Exercise Date by an MAI certified commercial real estate appraiser conducting business in the Anacortes/Skagit County industrial market and having not less than ten (10) years active experience as an MAI certified commercial real estate appraiser. On or before the date that is sixty (60) days after the Repurchase Exercise Date, TRMC and TLO shall each provide the other with a copy of the appraisal report received from their appraiser, and shall, within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the 60-day period, attempt to agree on the Repurchase Price for the Premises. If the parties agree on a Repurchase Price (to be paid all cash at closing), then TRMC and TLO shall proceed to close the transaction for the transfer of the Marine Crude Storage Facility as hereinafter provided, subject only to the satisfaction of the inspection contingency set forth in Section 4 below, and the contingency regarding title set forth in Section 5 below. |
C - 3
| (2) | If the parties cannot agree on the Repurchase Price, then each party shall so notify their appraiser and jointly the appraisers shall, within fifteen days after the date of such notification, appoint a third appraiser who meets the qualifications set forth above to act as arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator shall, within fifteen (15) days after his or her appointment, select as the Repurchase Price either the fair market value of the Premises set forth in TRMC’s appraisal or the fair market value set forth in TLO’s appraisal. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to average the appraised values, or to designate a Repurchase Price other than the fair market value specified in either TRMC’s appraisal or TLO’s appraisal. |
Both parties may submit any information to the Arbitrator for his or her consideration, with copies to the other party. The Arbitrator may consult experts and competent authorities for factual information or evidence pertaining to the determination of the Repurchase Price. The Arbitrator shall render his or her decision by written notice to each party. The determination of the Repurchase Price by the Arbitrator will be final and binding upon TRMC and TLO, and TRMC and TLO shall proceed to close the transaction for the transfer of the Marine Crude Storage Facility as hereinafter provided, subject only to the satisfaction of the inspection contingency set forth in Section 4 below, and the contingency regarding title set forth in Section 5 below. Each party shall pay the costs of its appraiser, and the party whose appraised value is not selected as the Repurchase Price shall pay the costs of the Arbitrator.
| 3. | Effective Date of Agreement. |
| (a) | Following Exercise of Right of First Refusal. If TRMC exercises its Right of First Refusal, the “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the date on which TLO receives an Exercise Notice. |
| (b) | Following Exercise of Option. In the case of TRMC’s exercise of its Option to Repurchase, the “Effective Date” shall be the date on which (a) the parties agree on the Repurchase Price in accordance with the terms of Section 2(e)(1) above, or (b) the Repurchase Price is determined by the Arbitrator as set forth in Section 2(e)(2) above. |
Unless terminated in connection with the inspection contingency or as a result of the status of title, closing of the sale of the Marine Crude Storage Facility pursuant to the exercise by TRMC of either the Right of First Refusal or the Option to Repurchase shall occur within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date (the “Closing Date”).
| 4. | Inspection Contingency. On or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, TRMC shall deliver to TLO written notice of (a) TRMC’s satisfaction or waiver, in TRMC’s sole discretion, with respect to the results of the inspection contingency stated in this Section 4, or (b) the failure of this condition. If TRMC fails to timely deliver such |
C - 4
| notice to TLO, then this condition shall be deemed not satisfied, and TRMC shall be under no obligation to proceed with the repurchase of the Marine Crude Storage Facility. If TRMC’s inspection contingency followed the exercise of the Right of First Refusal, then following TLO’s receipt of notice of the failure of this inspection contingency by TRMC (or TRMC’s failure to timely deliver the required notice to TLO), TLO shall be free to sell the Marine Crude Storage Facility to the third party submitting the Purchase Offer on the Purchase Terms, and TRMC’s Right of First Refusal, and TLO’s obligation under this Agreement, shall be null and void and without further force or effect. If TLO fails to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the third party submitting the Purchase Offer on the Purchase Terms, or thereafter the transaction fails to close, then TRMC’s Right of First Refusal shall continue in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for so long as TLO owns the Marine Crude Storage Facility. If TRMC timely notifies TLO of the satisfaction of this condition, then TRMC shall deposit into escrow, with First American Title Insurance Company or such other title insurance company as is satisfactory to the parties (the “Title Company”), an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Repurchase Price, and the parties shall proceed to close the repurchase transaction within sixty (60) days thereafter. |
| (a) | TLO shall make available for inspection by TRMC and its agents as soon as possible, but no later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date, all documents in the possession of TLO or its agents relating to the ownership and operation of the Marine Crude Storage Facility, including without limitation; (i) statements for real estate taxes, assessments, and utilities; (ii) plans, specifications, permits, drawings, surveys, reports, and maintenance records; (iii) accounting records and audit reports; (iv) all current operating agreements and contracts affecting the Marine Crude Storage Facility with third parties, and (v) any environmental reports, or portions thereof, relating to the Marine Crude Storage Facility. |
| (b) | TLO shall permit TRMC and its agents, at TRMC’s sole expense and risk, to conduct inspections concerning the structural condition of the improvements, all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, hazardous materials (which may include Phase II environmental site assessments if deemed advisable by TRMC) or other matters affecting the Marine Crude Storage Facility. TRMC shall provide TLO with sufficient evidence that TRMC’s agents are adequately covered by policies of insurance issued by a carrier reasonably acceptable to TLO, insuring TRMC’s agents against any and all liens or liability arising out of the inspections conducted upon the Marine Crude Storage Facility by TRMC or its agents, including, without limitation, any loss or damage to the Marine Crude Storage Facility, with coverage in the amount of not less than $500,000 per occurrence. With respect to any Phase I or Phase II environmental site assessments, TRMC agrees to (i) provide TLO with a copy of any and all test results and written reports in draft form for review and approval by TLO before final publication of the same occurs; (ii) provide TLO with a copy of the final written report; and (iii) keep confidential any and all test results and written reports. TRMC agrees to indemnify and defend TLO from all liens, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ and experts’ |
C - 5
| fees, arising from or relating to TRMC’s inspection of the Marine Crude Storage Facility in connection with the exercise of its Right of First Refusal or Option to Repurchase. This agreement to indemnify and defend TLO shall survive the closing of the purchase and sale transaction. |
| 5. | Preliminary Commitment for Title Insurance; Status of Title. |
| (a) | Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, TLO shall deliver to TRMC a preliminary commitment for title insurance covering the Marine Crude Storage Facility, together with legible copies of all exceptions shown therein, showing TLO’s title to the Marine Crude Storage Facility to be good, marketable and insurable (the “Preliminary Commitment”), which Preliminary Commitment shall be issued by the Title Company. |
| (b) | Within ten (10) days of its receipt of the Preliminary Commitment, TRMC shall notify TLO in writing of any exceptions to title that are wholly or conditionally unacceptable to TRMC. The notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons for any disapproval and, if appropriate, the conditions that must be met to make conditionally unacceptable exceptions fully acceptable to TRMC. TRMC may, however, object only to exceptions that are either monetary encumbrances or that are conditions, covenants, easements or restrictions inconsistent with TRMC’s intended use of the Marine Crude Storage Facility. |
| (c) | Within five (5) days following the date of receipt of TRMC’s notice of disapproved exceptions described in Section 5(b) above, TLO shall advise TRMC in writing of the exceptions it will clear prior to the Closing Date, which exceptions shall include all monetary exceptions to title (unless arising through or created by TRMC). Thereafter, TRMC shall have ten (10) days within which to make an election to accept TLO’s title or to terminate and cancel this Agreement (but such termination and cancellation shall only apply to the Right of First Refusal or the Option to Repurchase with respect to which the Preliminary Commitment was obtained, and otherwise this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any other event giving rise to TRMC’s ability to exercise its rights hereunder), which election shall be made in writing to TLO with the 10-day period. TRMC’s acceptance of title, or TRMC’s failure to provide TLO with such written election within the 10-day period, shall be deemed an irrevocable election by TRMC to accept the status of TLO’s title, and TRMC shall thereafter be irrevocably committed to close the sale of the Marine Crude Storage Facility. |
| (d) | The date on which such notice regarding the Preliminary Commitment is provided (or the date on which the 10-day period expires), as well as its determination of satisfaction or waiver of the inspection contingency under Section4, shall be referred to as the “Acceptance Date.” |
C - 6

Promptly following the Acceptance Date, an escrow (herein referred to as the “Escrow”) shall be created and established with the Title Company or other escrow company chosen by the parties (which Title Company, when acting in its escrow capacity, or other escrow company, shall be herein referred to as the “Escrow Agent”), for the closing of this transaction and for the receipt and delivery of funds, the deed and other documents and instruments to be delivered upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
| (b) | Escrow Instructions. The parties hereto agree to execute and deliver escrow instructions and such other reasonable documents and instruments as may be required by the Escrow Agent to consummate this transaction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to convey the Marine Crude Storage Facility from TLO to TRMC; provided, however, that it is specifically understood and agreed that the escrow instructions so executed and delivered shall not in any way supersede or replace the terms and provisions of this Agreement, but shall be deemed to be supplemental to the terms hereof and a means of carrying out and consummating the transaction contained in this Agreement. |
| (c) | Deposits into Escrow by TLO. TLO shall deposit in Escrow with the Escrow Agent, on or before the Closing Date, the following documents: |
