Section 6.6 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation and Filing Tax Returns and Paying Taxes. The Seller shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to each of the Companies (whether due before or after the Closing Date) and shall timely pay in full the amount of Taxes due with respect to such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns, and the Seller shall prepare each of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns in a manner that is consistent with past practice; provided, however, that if any such Tax Return is filed after the Closing and the Seller is not authorized to execute and file such Tax Return by applicable Law, the Buyer shall execute and file (or cause to be filed) the Tax Return delivered by the Seller to the Buyer with the appropriate Taxing Authority, and the Seller shall deliver with each such Tax Return payment to the Buyer in an amount equal to the amount of Taxes due thereon. Except as provided in the following sentence, the Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid) all Pre-Closing Taxes owed by or with respect to the Companies. The Buyer shall file all other Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Companies and shall pay (or cause to be paid) (i) all Taxes other than Pre-Closing Taxes (which are the sole responsibility of the Seller) owed by or with respect to the Companies and (ii) all Taxes arising from any event occurring on the Closing Date that is outside the Ordinary Course of Business of the Companies, is not contemplated by this Agreement, and is the result of an action taken by the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer.

The Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Taxes of or imposed on any of the Companies and their Subsidiaries for any and all portions of Straddle Periods ending on the Closing Date (determined in accordance with this Section 6.6(a)) not later than five days after such amount is determined. The Buyer and the Seller shall each provide the other with all information reasonably necessary to prepare any Tax Return relating to the Companies and their Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Periods and Straddle Periods.

(b) Responsibility for Tax Audits and Contests. If notice of any action, suit, investigation or audit with respect to Pre-Closing Taxes of a Company or its Subsidiaries is received by the Seller or the Buyer (or any of their respective Affiliates), the Party receiving such notice shall promptly notify the other Party in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Seller of liability for Pre-Closing Taxes except to the extent that the Seller is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Seller shall control any audit or contest relating to Pre-Closing Taxes; provided, however, that (A) the Seller shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such contest or audit, (B) the Buyer may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense, and participate in the defense of with respect to such contest or audit, including having an

(c) Preparation and Filing of Straddle Period Tax Returns. The Seller shall be entitled to any refund of Pre-Closing Taxes; provided that refunds of Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned in accordance with the liability for such Taxes as determined in Section 6.6(a).

If a Party receives a refund to which the other Party is entitled, the Party receiving the refund shall pay it to the Party entitled to the refund within 15 business days after such receipt.

(d) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes shall be borne 50% by the Buyer and 50% by the Seller. The Seller and the Buyer agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes, and to obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes, that could be imposed on the Seller or the Buyer under applicable Law as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate with one another in the preparation of any necessary Tax Returns and other related documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes (including any exemption certificates and forms as each may request to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce) or make a report with respect to Transfer Taxes).

(e) Post-Closing Actions. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or with the consent of the Seller, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause each Company and its Subsidiaries not to, file any Tax Return (including amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund), or make any election, with respect to Pre-Closing Taxes, including taking any action to extend the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any such Tax Return of any Company or its Subsidiaries.

(f) Income Tax Treatment. As a result of each of the Companies being a Disregarded Entity at the time of the Closing for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and state, local, and foreign income Tax purposes where applicable), the Buyer and the Seller intend that the purchase of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement be treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and state, local, and foreign income Tax purposes where applicable) as the fully taxable purchase by the Buyer of the assets of the Companies in exchange for the Purchase Price and other items of consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (including any assumed liabilities as determined for U.S. federal income Tax purposes). The Buyer and the Seller agree to report and file (and cause their respective Affiliates to report and file) their U.S. federal

income Tax Returns (and state and local income Tax Returns where applicable) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such intended treatment. The Buyer and the Seller further agree not to take (and to cause their respective Affiliates not to take) any position, whether in any Tax Return, audit, examination, claim, adjustment, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to U.S. federal income Tax (and state and local income Tax purposes where applicable), which is inconsistent with such intended treatment.

(g) Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, plus the amount of any other items of consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (including any assumed liabilities as determined for U.S. federal income Tax purposes), will be allocated among the assets of the Companies in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of federal, state, provincial, local or non-U.S. Law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation”). The Buyer will prepare a written statement setting forth the Allocation (the “Allocation Statement”) and deliver same to the Seller within 60 days after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price is made pursuant to Section 2.4, and thereafter, the Parties will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the Allocation and the Allocation Statement within 30 days after such delivery, taking into account Seller’s reasonable and timely comments to the extent such comments are delivered within such thirty (30) day period and are consistent with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of federal, state, provincial, local or non-U.S. Law, as appropriate). If the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute relating to the Allocation or the Allocation Statement within such 30-day period, such dispute shall be resolved by the Auditors using the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(b), mutatis mutandis. The Buyer and the Seller agree (a) that each of them will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, report the purchase and sale of the assets of the Companies on all relevant Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594 and any amendments thereto, consistent with the Allocation and the Allocation Statement (as finally determined under this Section 6.6(g)) and not to take (and to cause their respective Affiliates not to take) any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, audit, examination, claim, adjustment, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Buyer or the Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing Authority based upon or arising out of such Allocation or Allocation Statement, and neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing Authority challenging such Allocation or Allocation Statement; and (b) that such Allocation and Allocation Statement shall be further revised, as necessary and in a manner consistent with the Allocation contained therein, to reflect any adjustment to the Purchase Price or other items of consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes pursuant to Section 9.7 or otherwise that is not otherwise reflected in such Allocation. Not later than 30 days prior to the filing of their respective IRS Forms 8594 relating to this transaction, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall deliver to the other a copy of its IRS Form 8594.

(h) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Each of the Buyer and the Seller, and each of their respective Affiliates, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of or with respect to the Companies and/or during the course of any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes of or attributable to the Companies. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(i) Conflict. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.6 and any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.6 shall control.

Section 6.8 Retention of Books and Records.

In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by the Seller prior to the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of seven years after the Closing, the Buyer shall retain the books and records (including personnel files) of the Companies relating to periods prior to the Closing in a manner reasonably consistent with the prior practices of the Companies, and upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of the Seller reasonable access (including the right to make, at the Seller’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records.

(b) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made by or against or incurred by the Buyer or the Companies after the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of seven years following the Closing, the Seller shall retain the books and records (including personnel files) of the Seller which relate to the Companies and the operations of the Acquired Business for periods prior to the Closing, and upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of the Buyer or the Companies reasonable access (including the right to make, at the Buyer’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records.

(c) Neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall be obligated to provide the other Party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 6.8 where such access would violate any Law.

Section 6.9 Contact with Customers and Suppliers. Until the Closing Date, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and direct its other Representatives not to, contact or communicate with the customers, suppliers, distributors or licensors of any Company, or any other Persons having a business relationship with any Company (except employees as to which Section 6.11 shall be applicable), concerning the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the foregoing relationships without the prior written consent of the Seller.

Section 6.10 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable hereunder, and from any other consideration otherwise paid or delivered to any Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any amounts that the Buyer is required to deduct and withhold in respect of any such payments under the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of federal, state, provincial, local or non-U.S. Law. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Buyer shall provide notice to the Seller at least five days prior to withholding any amounts under this Agreement and shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller to obtain any exclusion or exemption from such withholding.

Any Seller Dedicated Employee who receives and accepts such an offer of employment from the Buyer and becomes an employee of the Buyer or its designated Affiliate shall be deemed a “Continuing Employee”. The Buyer shall provide the Seller a list of Continuing Employees no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Each Continuing Employee shall be eligible to receive salary, bonus and other benefits maintained for employees of the Buyer or its Affiliates on substantially similar terms and conditions in the aggregate as are provided to similarly situated employees of the Buyer and its Affiliates.

(b) The Seller shall be solely responsible, and the Buyer shall have no obligations whatsoever for, any compensation or other amounts payable to any current or former employee, officer, director, independent contractor or consultant of the Acquired Business, including hourly pay, commission, bonus, salary, accrued vacation, fringe, pension or profit sharing benefits or severance pay for any period relating to the service with the Seller or its Affiliates at any time on or prior to the Closing Date. The Seller or its Affiliates shall pay all such amounts to all entitled persons on or prior to the Closing Date and no such amounts or liabilities shall be reflected in the Working Capital calculation. The Seller also shall remain solely responsible for all worker’s compensation claims of any current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors or consultants of the Acquired Business which are made on or prior to the Closing Date. The Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, all such amounts to the appropriate persons as and when due.

(c) For purposes of eligibility, vesting and entitlement to benefits, including entitlement to, and level of, severance and vacation benefits (but not for accrual of pension benefits), each Continuing Employee shall be given credit for all service with the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective predecessors under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of the Buyer or its Affiliates in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate (the “Buyer Benefit Plans”), to the same extent as if such service had been performed

for the Buyer or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of any Buyer Benefit Plans providing welfare benefits to Continuing Employees, the Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, as applicable, use all commercially reasonable efforts in order to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions, waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, and requirements to show evidence of good health with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any such Buyer Benefit Plan provided to the Continuing Employees, except to the extent that such conditions, exclusions, waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, and requirements to show evidence of good health would apply under the analogous Employee Plan, and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit, in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, for any co-payments, coinsurance payments, deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket requirements paid under an Employee Plan in satisfying any applicable deductible or out of pocket requirements under the analogous Buyer Benefit Plan.

(d) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Buyer will maintain or designate a defined contribution plan and related trust intended to be qualified under section 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the Code (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) in which Continuing Employee shall be eligible to participate. The Seller and the Buyer will take all action necessary or appropriate to allow Continuing Employees to roll over any amounts that are eligible for rollover treatment under the Code from an Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under section 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code to the Buyer 401(k) Plan.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.11 or otherwise in this Agreement to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, constitute the establishment or adoption of, or an amendment to, any employee benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA), and no Person shall have any claim or cause of action, under ERISA or otherwise, in respect of any provision of this Agreement as it relates to any such employee benefit plan, employment or otherwise.

Section 6.12 Use of Name. From and after the Closing, the Buyer and its respective Affiliates shall not use the names “American Midstream”, “AMID” or “JP Energy”, “JP Energy Partners” or any variant or derivative of any of the foregoing or any other logos, symbols or trademarks of the Seller or any of its Affiliates (the “Restricted Marks”). The Buyer agrees that on the Closing Date it will cease using the Restricted Marks in advertising and other business communications and promptly, but no later than (a) three months after the Closing Date with respect to the Restricted Marks relating to the names “JP Energy”, “JP Energy Partners” or any variant or derivative thereof and (b) 12 months after the Closing Date with respect to all of the other Restricted Marks, it will take all necessary action to eliminate the Restricted Marks from, or paint over or otherwise permanently obscure the Restricted Marks on, any tangible personal property, buildings, equipment or other assets.

Section 6.13 Guarantee and Lien Releases. Prior to or concurrently with the Closing: (a) the Seller shall cause the Companies and all of their respective assets to be released from, and shall have obtained all consents, approvals or waivers as may be required to avoid a breach or default by the Companies or any right of acceleration or cancellation of any obligations of the Companies under, any and all agreements, liabilities and obligations in connection with all Indebtedness (all of which is described on Section 6.13 of the Seller Disclosure Letter), and (b) the Seller shall obtain and deliver to the Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer of

the release and termination of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens, Liens in effect on or prior to the Closing Date that will be released upon payment of the Purchase Price and restrictions on transfer that may be imposed by state or federal securities Laws) to the extent encumbering any of the assets or Capital Stock (including the Interests) of the Companies.

Section 6.14 Casualty Loss. In the event of damage by fire, earthquake, hurricane, flood or other casualty to the facilities, equipment, pipelines, pipeline connections or other tangible personal or real property of the Companies after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing (a “Casualty Loss”), then (a) subject to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and (b) the Seller shall, at the Buyer’s election, either (i) assign to the Buyer at the Closing all insurance claims under the insurance policies held by the Seller or its Affiliates in connection with such damaged assets and reduce the Purchase Price at the Closing to cover the amounts of any property or casualty deductibles and retentions, including waiting period time element losses or (ii) prior to the Closing, repair or replace such damaged assets to the condition of the affected assets immediately prior to the Casualty Loss and retain all insurance claims described in clause (i) hereof, provided, however, that if the schedule for the repair and restoration of damaged assets and return of the Acquired Business to the Ordinary Course of Business is reasonably estimated by Buyer to exceed 120 days following the proposed Closing Date, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

Section 6.15 No Solicitation of Other Bids. The Seller shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Affiliates (including the Companies) or any of its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, initiate, facilitate or continue inquiries regarding an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person concerning a possible Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreements or other instruments (whether or not binding) regarding an Acquisition Proposal. The Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Companies) and all of its and their Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes hereof, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than the Buyer or any of its Affiliates) concerning (i) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization or other business combination transaction involving either of the Companies; (ii) the issuance or acquisition of membership interests in either of the Companies; or (iii) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of either of the Companies’ properties or assets.

Section 6.16 Non-Competition.

(a) For a period of two years following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Seller shall not, and shall not permit any AMID Entity to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted Business in the Territory; (ii) own an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships between any Company, on the one hand, and customers or suppliers of the Companies and the Acquired Business, on the other hand; provided that such customers or suppliers were customers or suppliers of the Companies and the Acquired Business at any time

during the 12-month period prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller or any AMID Entity may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if the Seller or such AMID Entity is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person. For purposes of this Section 6.16, an “AMID Entity” means American Midstream Partners, LP and any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, “Restricted Business” means the Acquired Business, “Territory” means the Texas service area of the Caddo Xxxxx Refined Products Terminal and the Arkansas service area of the North Little Rock Refined Products Terminal, as the Acquired Business is currently conducted. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions in this Section 6.16 shall not apply to any Person that is not an AMID Entity or Affiliate of an AMID Entity and that acquires an AMID Entity in an arms’-length merger, consolidation or similar transaction that results in such AMID Entity ceasing to exist following such transaction.

(b) The Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.16 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Buyer and constitute a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.16 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.16 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.17 Pre-Closing Occurrence Based Insurance.

(a) For any claim that may be asserted against either Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date arising out of events, incidents, conduct or circumstances that occurred prior to the Closing Date, including changes in the amount or nature of previously asserted claims arising out of any such pre-Closing Date events, incidents, conduct or circumstances (such claims, “Post-Closing Claims”), for a period of 12 months following the Closing Date, the applicable Company or its Subsidiary may tender such Post-Closing Claim to the Seller for submission by the Seller to the applicable insurer under any of the occurrence-based Seller Insurance Policies or other occurrence-based insurance policies of Seller or its Affiliates issued prior to the Closing Date under which the applicable Company or its applicable Subsidiary was insured as of the date of the events, incidents, conduct or circumstances giving rise to such Post-Closing Claim (such policies, the “Pre-Closing Occurrence Based Policies” and each such Post-Closing Claims so tendered to the Seller for submission to the applicable insurer, a “Noticed Post-Closing Claim”) and the Seller shall thereupon tender such Noticed Post-Closing Claim to the applicable insurer for coverage; provided, however, that the Companies shall have no recourse to the Seller (except pursuant to Article IX, if applicable) for any uninsured or uncovered amounts for such Noticed Post-Closing Claims (including any deductible or other amount for which the Seller provides self-insurance), except for amounts attributable to any

failure or refusal by the Seller to provide timely notice of any Noticed Post-Closing Claim to the applicable insurer upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of such Noticed Post-Closing Claim from the applicable Company or its Subsidiary. The Seller shall notify the applicable Company of all coverage determinations made by the insurer(s) in respect of any submitted Noticed Post-Closing Claims and, if any amounts are paid or to be paid by the insurer in respect thereof, shall request that such insurer make payment directly to the applicable Company or its applicable Subsidiary or shall transfer such insurance proceeds to the applicable Company or its applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, no later than 10 days after receipt of such insurance proceeds.

(b) The Seller shall not release, commute, buy-back, or otherwise eliminate the coverage available under any Pre-Closing Occurrence Based Policy without the Buyer’s consent.

(c) Subject to and without modification of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) of this Section, if any Post-Closing Claim is a workers’ compensation claim, then if it is finally determined by a court of law or responsible authority that the date of loss was in fact prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall be responsible for the loss exclusively, and none of the Companies nor any of their Subsidiaries shall be liable for any portion of such loss.

Section 6.18 Delivery of Financial Information. Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Buyer: (i) the audited consolidated financial statements of the Companies (which shall include the Companies and their Subsidiaries and only the Companies and their Subsidiaries), prepared in accordance with GAAP and audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or another accounting firm of national standing selected by Seller that is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the “Auditing Firm”), consisting of an audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and audited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), statements of cash flows and statements of stockholders’ equity for the fiscal year of the Companies and their Subsidiaries ended December 31, 2017 (collectively, the “Acquired Companies Audited Financial Statements”), and (ii) unaudited interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP consisting of (A) an unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet of the Companies and their Subsidiaries as of (I) the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter (other than the fourth fiscal quarter of any fiscal year) of the Companies and their Subsidiaries that has been completed prior to the Closing Date and that has ended at least 45 days before the Closing Date and (II) the last day of the corresponding fiscal quarter of the 2017 fiscal year and (B) unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), statements of cash flows and statements of stockholders’ equity of the Companies and their Subsidiaries for (I) the most recent six or nine month, as applicable, fiscal period (other than the fourth fiscal quarter of any fiscal year) of the Companies and their Subsidiaries that has been completed prior to the Closing Date and that has ended at least 45 days before the Closing Date and (II) the corresponding six or nine month, as applicable, fiscal period of the 2017 fiscal year (collectively, the “Acquired Companies Interim Financial Statements”), in each case referred to in this sentence that conform to, and are required to be filed by the Buyer’s parent company pursuant to, the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, from the date hereof and prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide such information, or reasonable access thereto, with respect to the Companies and their Subsidiaries as may be reasonably

requested by the Buyer to the Buyer to prepare or file pro forma financial information required by applicable Law to be prepared or filed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Seller also shall cooperate with the Buyer to provide any additional information, or reasonably access thereto, requested by the Buyer, in connection with the Buyer’s analysis of the Acquired Companies Audited Financial Statements or Acquired Companies Interim Financial Statements required to be included in any reports or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Acquisition. The Seller shall keep the Buyer informed on a reasonably current basis (and at any time upon the Buyer’s reasonable request) in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to prepare the Acquired Companies Audited Financial Statements and the Acquired Companies Interim Financial Statements and obtain the audit described in this Section 6.18. All costs and expenses incurred by the Seller, the Companies and their Subsidiaries in connection with this Section 6.18 shall be shared equally by the Buyer and Seller (i.e., 50/50); provided, however, that the Buyer’s obligation to share in the payment of such costs and expenses shall not exceed $100,000.

Section 6.19 Title Policy. The Buyer has informed the Seller that, as a condition to the Closing, the Title Company must issue to the Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, a new owners’ title insurance policy for each parcel of owned Real Property (together with such endorsements described on Exhibit H, collectively, the “Title Policies”) insuring fee simple title as to each parcel of owned Real Property free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, it being understood that it will not be a condition to the Closing that the Title Policy include any particular endorsement, including those set forth on Exhibit H if the inability of the Title Company to issue such endorsement relates to a matter that is a Permitted Lien. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver (and acknowledge, if required) to the Title Company on the Closing Date affidavits and indemnities in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F and made a part hereof, with such changes thereto as are acceptable to the Seller in the Seller’s reasonable discretion.

Section 6.20 Inventory Reconciliations. The Seller shall prepare, and deliver to the Buyer at Closing, with respect to each of the Terminals, a true, correct and complete month-end reconciliation report (such reports, the “Inventory Reconciliations”) of such Terminal’s book inventory to its physical inventory of refined products as of the close of business on the last day of the month that precedes the Closing Date, provided that, to the extent the Closing occurs before the 15th calendar day of a month, then such inventory shall be provided as of the close of business on the last day of the month that is two months prior to the Closing Date (the “Inventory Date). The Inventory Reconciliations shall include, for each refined product at the applicable Terminal, the beginning physical inventory shown on such month-end report regularly prepared by the Seller or its Affiliates (the “Starting Inventory”), receipts into inventory, deliveries from inventory, the ending book inventory, the ending physical inventory and any gain or loss in inventory for the period between the date of the Starting Inventory and the Inventory Date. The Seller shall be solely liable for any discrepancy between book inventory and physical inventory of refined products at each of the Terminals as of the Inventory Date (whether such discrepancy is based upon the inventory records of the Terminals or the inventory records of customers of the Terminals). For illustrative purposes, Section 6.20 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth the Inventory Reconciliations as if the Closing occurred on January 31, 2018.

(a) by mutual written consent of the Seller and the Buyer;

(b) by either the Seller or the Buyer, if:

(i) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 1, 2018; provided, however, that if a request is made for additional information and documentary material pursuant to the HSR Act, then such date shall automatically be extended to August 1, 2018 (the “Outside Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a Party (or its respective Affiliates) if the failure of such Party or its respective Affiliates to perform any of its or their obligations under this Agreement has caused, or resulted in, the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated on or before such date; or

(ii) any order issued, or Law enacted, entered or promulgated, by a Governmental Authority permanently restrains, enjoins or prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Acquisition in a manner that would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c), and such order becomes effective, final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to oppose such order or Law in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4;

(c) by the Seller, if the Buyer shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) if continuing on the Closing Date and (ii) has not been cured and cannot reasonably be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if the Seller is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement if such breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2 if continuing on the Closing Date;

(d) by the Buyer, if the Seller shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) if continuing on the Closing Date and (ii) has not been cured and cannot reasonably be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if it is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement if such breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3 if continuing on the Closing Date; or

(e) by the Buyer in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.5 or Section 6.14.

Section 8.2 Procedure for Termination.

For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, any failure of the Buyer or the Seller to close the Acquisition following the satisfaction or waiver of such Parties’ conditions to closing set forth in Article VII shall be considered a willful breach by the applicable Parties of such Parties’ covenants hereunder.

(b) The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.2(a) exceeds $1,500,000 (the “Threshold Amount”); provided, however, that once the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Threshold Amount, then the Buyer shall have the right to recover all such Losses without regard to the Threshold Amount, subject to the other limitations on recovery and recourse set forth in this Agreement. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed 10% of the Base Purchase Price (the “Cap”).

(c) The Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.3(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.3(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that once the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Threshold Amount, then the Seller shall have the right to recover all such Losses without regard to the Threshold Amount, subject to the other limitations on recovery and recourse set forth in this Agreement. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.3(a) shall not exceed the Cap.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(a), Section 9.4(b) and Section 9.4(c) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation.

(e) For purposes of this Article IX, the amount of any indemnifiable Losses in respect of (but not the inaccuracy in or breach of) any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Seller Material Adverse Effect, Buyer Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

(f) Under no circumstances shall any Party be entitled to duplicate recovery under this Agreement with respect to (i) any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article IX, even though the facts or series of related facts giving rise to such claim may constitute a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant or agreement set forth herein, or in any of the agreements or instruments entered into in connection with the Closing, (ii) any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4 or (iii) any reimbursement or other obligation hereunder.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall (i) the aggregate indemnification to be paid by a Party under this Article IX exceed the Base Purchase Price, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct or (ii) any insurance proceeds or other payment or monetary recoupment received or that are actually realized or obtained by the Indemnified Party (other than payments received from the Seller pursuant to this Article IX) as a result of the events giving rise to the claim for indemnification be applied toward the Cap or other limitation on aggregate indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 9.5 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c)) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 9.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim (at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense) and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Proceeding by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.6 hereof.

Section 9.6 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 business days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 business day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 6 percent. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 9.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as the case may be.

Section 9.9 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 11.14, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.9 shall limit (i) any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct or (ii) the Seller’s ability to seek remedies against the Buyer Parent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Buyer Parent Guaranty or the Buyer’s ability to seek remedies against the Seller Parent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Seller Parent Guaranty.

Section 9.10 Waiver of Non-Reimbursable Losses. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NO PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE FOLLOWING LOSSES (NON-REIMBURSABLE LOSSES”): SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF DIMINUTION IN VALUE, LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOST OR DELAYED BUSINESS BASED ON VALUATION METHODOLOGIES ASCRIBING A DECREASE IN VALUE TO THE COMPANIES ON THE BASIS OF A MULTIPLE-BASED OR YIELD-BASED MEASURE OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER LAW OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE OTHER PARTY’S OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES’ SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT, IN EACH CASE OTHER THAN FRAUD, CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 9.10 SHALL NOT LIMIT A PARTY’S RIGHT TO RECOVER LOSSES UNDER THIS ARTICLE IX FOR ANY SUCH LOSSES TO THE EXTENT SUCH PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PAY SUCH LOSSES TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A MATTER FOR WHICH SUCH PARTY IS OTHERWISE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE IX.

Section 9.11 Determination of Amount of Losses; Mitigation. The Losses giving rise to any indemnification obligation hereunder shall be limited to the Losses suffered by the Indemnified Party and shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds or other payment or monetary recoupment received or that are actually realized or obtained by the Indemnified Party as a result of the events giving rise to the claim for indemnification. Any Indemnified Party that becomes aware of Losses for which it intends to seek indemnification hereunder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts to which it may be entitled under insurance policies or from third parties (pursuant to indemnification agreements or otherwise) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such Losses.

Any service of process to be made in such Proceeding may be made by delivery of process in accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 11.10. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this Section 11.8 shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Texas and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section 11.8 and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties. The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. In addition, each of the Parties hereto agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court.

or in any case to such other address or addresses as hereafter shall be furnished as provided in this Section 11.10 by any Party to the other Party.

Section 11.11 No Partnership; Third-Party Beneficiaries . Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a joint venture, partnership, Tax partnership or agency relationship between the Parties. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of (a) the Seller (and its successors and permitted assigns), with respect to the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement; and (b) the Buyer (and its successors and permitted assigns), with respect to the obligations of the Seller under this Agreement. Except as provided in Article IX (the “Third-Party Provisions”), this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third Person any remedy, claim of liability or reimbursement, cause of action or other right. The Third-Party Provisions may be enforced by the beneficiaries thereof.

Section 11.12 Negotiated Transaction. The Parties, each represented by legal counsel, have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted by all Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 11.13 Time of the Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 11.14 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the covenants set forth in Section 6.15 or Section 6.16) were not performed in accordance with their specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist (even if damages would be available) and damages would be difficult to determine, and that, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to compel performance by the Parties of their respective obligations set forth in this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

(b) Without limiting the general right to specific performance set forth in Section 11.14(a), each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that, due to the nature of the Companies, including the unique nature of the customer relationships and other facts and circumstances, a non-breaching Party would be damaged irreparably if a Party breaches its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as required hereunder, provided that all of the conditions to Closing set forth hereunder have been satisfied or waived by the Party seeking to enforce this Agreement (other than the covenants in Section 2.3 and Section 2.6, which the Party seeking enforcement would be otherwise prepared to satisfy). Accordingly, in the event of any such breach of a Party’s obligation to consummate the Closing, provided that all of the conditions to Closing set forth hereunder have been satisfied or waived by the Party seeking to enforce this Agreement (other than the covenants in Section 2.3 and Section 2.6, which the Party seeking enforcement would be otherwise prepared to satisfy), then the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Party seeking to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled, at its election, to specifically enforce the performance of the other Party’s obligation to consummate the Closing as required hereunder in any Proceeding, including a Proceeding for injunctive relief.

(c) Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason in equity or at law, other than on the basis that such remedy is not expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.
