NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of covenants, obligations and undertakings of the Parties set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

1.1 Certain Defined Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this Asset Lease shall have the respective meanings set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

1.2 Interpretation. Interpretation matters are set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

ARTICLE II

LEASE OF RDU ASSETS AND SUBLEASE OF PREMISES; TERM; LESSOR ACCESS

2.1 Lease of RDU Assets; Sublease of Premises.

(a) In consideration of the rents, covenants, and agreements set forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the RDU Assets for the Term. In furtherance of the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of the Master Lease, Lessor hereby subleases to Lessee and Lessee hereby subleases from Lessor, the Premises for the Term.

(b) At Lessee’s option, Lessee may renew this Asset Lease for up to two (2) additional five (5) year periods (each, an “Extension Term”) upon notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) provided not more than 24 months and not less than 12 months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the initial Extension Term, as applicable. The Initial Term and any Extension Term are collectively referred to as the “Term”.

(c) If the Master Lease expires or is terminated for any reason such that Lessor no longer has the right to occupy and use the Premises, this Asset Lease, if not sooner terminated by its terms, shall automatically terminate effective on the termination date of the Master Lease; provided, that if this Asset Lease terminates as provided in this Section 2.1(c) (i) during the Initial Term, then all Lease Payments for the balance of the Initial Term shall immediately become due and payable and all other charges then owing hereunder shall be prorated as of such date or (ii) after the Initial Term, then all Lease Payments and all other charges then owing hereunder shall be prorated as of such date.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(c), Section 8.1, Section 8.2 or Section 10.2(a), this Asset Lease may not be terminated.

2.2 Lessor Access. Lessor hereby retains for itself and its Affiliates, agents, employees and contractors (collectively, “Lessor’s Parties”), the right of access to the Premises, the RDU Assets and any Additional Improvements to determine whether the conditions and covenants contained in this Asset Lease are being kept and performed, all so long as such access by Lessor’s Parties does not unreasonably interfere in any material respect with Lessee’s operations of the RDU Assets and complies with Lessee’s rules, norms and procedures governing safety and security at the Premises and the RDU Assets.

ARTICLE III

LEASE PAYMENT

3.1 Lease Payment.

(a) As payment for the RDU Assets during the Term, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor for each 12-month period during the Term an amount equal to $4,848,485 (the “Lease Payment”), which Lease Payment shall be payable in installments of $1,212,121.25 on or before January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, with the first such payment being due three (3) business days after this Asset Lease is signed by the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lease Payment is or shall be payable for the Premises; the Lease Payment reserved hereunder is solely for the lease and use of the RDU Assets and any Additional Improvements. The Lease Payment shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at Lessor’s address set forth in Section 12.7.

(b) The Lease Payment will be adjusted each year, commencing July 1, 2022, by PPI; provided, that the PPI adjustment may not exceed 3% in any given year (for the avoidance of doubt, any PPI adjustment greater than 3% in any given year will be rounded down to 3%). If the PPI index change is negative in a given year then there will be no change in the Lease Payment. The change factor shall be calculated as follows: annual PPI index (most current year) less annual PPI index (most current year minus 1) divided by annual PPI index (most current year minus 1). An example for year 2014 change is: [PPI (2013) – PPI (2012)] / PPI (2012) or (197.3 – 193.3) / 193.3 or .021 or 2.1%. If the PPI index is no longer published, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation or deflation, and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Lease Payment. If the Parties are unable to agree, a new index will be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Omnibus Agreement, and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Lease Payments.

3.2 Net Asset Lease. Except for Capital Maintenance Costs as expressly provided in Article V or Article VI, this is a net lease and Lessor shall not at any time be required to pay any amounts to any

utility charges or any costs associated with the maintenance, repair, alteration or improvement of the Premises, the RDU Assets or to provide any services or do any act or thing with respect to the Premises, the RDU Assets or any part thereof or any appurtenances thereto. The Lease Payment reserved herein shall be paid without any claim on the part of Lessee for diminution, setoff or abatement and nothing shall suspend, xxxxx or reduce any Lease Payment to be paid hereunder, except as expressly provided herein.

ARTICLE IV

CONDUCT OF BUSINESS

4.1 Use of RDU Assets and Premises. During the Term, Lessee shall have the right to use the RDU Assets and the Premises for the purpose of operating, maintaining, repairing, replacing, improving, and expanding the RDU Assets and any Additional Improvements in accordance with normal and customary practices in the industry and for any lawful purpose associated with the operation and ownership of RDU Assets and any Additional Improvements. Lessee shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any waste to the RDU Assets, the Premises or any Additional Improvements, ordinary wear and tear or damage by casualty excepted.

4.2 Governmental Regulations. Subject to the obligations of Lessor to Lessee under this Asset Lease, including the indemnity provisions contained in Article XI, Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, at all times comply with all applicable requirements (including requirements under Environmental Laws) of all Governmental Authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to the RDU Assets, the Premises or Additional Improvements, and shall faithfully observe all Applicable Laws pertaining to the RDU Assets, the Premises or Additional Improvements or the use, maintenance or operation thereof. Lessee shall give prompt written notice to Lessor of Lessee’s receipt from time to time of any notice of non-compliance, order or other directive from any court or other Governmental Authority under Environmental Laws relating to the RDU Assets, the Premises or Additional Improvements. If Lessor reasonably believes at any time that Lessee is not complying with all Applicable Laws (including requirements under Environmental Laws) with respect to the RDU Assets, the Premises or Additional Improvements, it will provide reasonable notice to Lessee of such condition, and Lessee shall take appropriate action to cause such assets to comply with Applicable Laws or take other actions required under Applicable Laws within a reasonable time. If Lessee fails to do so within seven (7) days after receiving a second notice from Lessor requesting such action, Lessor may take those actions reasonably necessary to cause the RDU Assets, the Premises and Additional Improvements to achieve compliance with Applicable Laws because of Lessee’s failure to do so, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor all reasonable costs and expenses paid by Lessor on Lessee’s behalf within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor and receipt of evidence of such reasonable costs and expenses.

ARTICLE V

ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

Subject to the provisions of this Article V, Lessee may make any alterations, additions, improvements or other changes to the RDU Assets as may be necessary or useful in connection with the operation of the RDU Assets (collectively, the “Additional Improvements”) so long as such Additional Improvements are (a) in conformity with all Applicable Laws, (b) made after obtaining any required Permits, (c) allowed by the Master Lease and (d) approved in advance by Lessor. Lessee shall promptly pay the entire cost of any such change, addition or improvement; provided, however, that Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for the amount of such costs, if any, that constitute Capital Maintenance Costs. Any Additional Improvements by Lessee shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Applicable Laws. Lessee shall not have the right or power to create or permit any lien of any kind or character on the RDU Assets, the Premises or Additional Improvements by reason of repair or construction or other work. In the event any such lien is filed against the RDU Assets, the Premises or

Additional Improvements, Lessee shall cause such lien to be discharged or bonded within thirty (30) days of the date of filing thereof. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties at the time an Additional Improvement is made, all Additional Improvements shall be owned by Lessee for the Term of this Asset Lease and shall be removed by Lessee no later than first to occur of (y) the date on which such Additional Improvements must be removed pursuant to this Asset Lease, or (z) one (1) year after termination of this Asset Lease (provided that in either case such Additional Improvements can be removed by Lessee without unreasonable damage or harm to the RDU Assets or the Premises) or, at Lessee’s option exercisable by notice to Lessor, surrendered to Lessor upon the termination of this Asset Lease.

ARTICLE VI

MAINTENANCE OF RDU ASSETS

6.1 Maintenance by Lessee.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Article V, this Article VI and in Article VIII, Lessee shall at its own cost, risk and expense at all times maintain the RDU Assets, the Premises and any Additional Improvements in compliance with the Master Lease and all Applicable Laws and in good order and repair and make all necessary repairs thereto, structural and nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary, and unforeseen and foreseen. When used in this Section 6.1, the term “repairs” shall include all necessary replacements, renewal, alterations and additions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall remain responsible for all Capital Maintenance Costs in respect of the RDU Assets and the Premises, and any such Capital Maintenance Costs incurred by Lessee pursuant to this Asset Lease shall be reimbursed by Lessor. All repairs made by Lessee shall be made in accordance with normal and customary practices in the industry, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with all Applicable Laws. Lessee shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the proper handling, removal and disposal of all materials, debris, waste and Hazardous Substances generated or resulting from such repair and maintenance activities, all in accordance with Applicable Laws.

(b) At least annually, Lessee shall prepare a tank inspection and maintenance plan (which shall include an inspection plan, a cleaning plan, a waste disposal plan, details regarding scheduling and a budget) for the tankage included in the RDU Assets, and, if so requested by Lessor, provide a copy of such plan to Lessor. Lessee shall conduct tank maintenance in conformity with such tank maintenance plan at Lessee’s cost and expense, and shall report any findings from such inspections to Lessor. Lessee will use its commercially reasonable efforts to schedule the activities under such maintenance plan to minimize disruptions to the operations of HFC Cheyenne and Lessor on the Premises.

6.2 Operation of RDU Assets. Subject to the obligations of Lessor and Lessee in this Asset Lease, including any indemnity provisions contained in Article XI, Lessee covenants and agrees to operate the RDU Assets in accordance with normal and customary practices in the industry and all Applicable Laws pertaining to the RDU Assets or Additional Improvements, or the use or operation thereof.

6.3 Surrender of Premises, RDU Assets and Additional Improvements. Lessee shall, at the expiration of the Term or at any earlier termination of this Asset Lease as permitted herein, clean and idle any tanks included in the RDU Assets to standards satisfactory to Lessor, and surrender the Premises, RDU Assets and Additional Improvements to Lessor in as good condition as it received the same, ordinary wear and tear, and limitations permitted by Article VIII excepted, and in accordance with the provisions of Article V.

6.4 Release of Hazardous Substances. Lessee shall give prompt notice to Lessor of any release of any Hazardous Substances on or at the Premises, RDU Assets or Additional Improvements that

occur during the Term. Lessee (at its sole cost and expense) shall immediately take all steps necessary to contain or remediate (or both) any such release and provide any governmental notifications required by Applicable Law. If Lessor believes at any time that Lessee is failing to contain or remediate in compliance with all Applicable Laws (including Environmental Laws) any release arising from Lessee’s operation of the RDU Assets or Additional Improvements or Lessee’s failure to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Asset Lease, Lessor will provide reasonable notice to Lessee of such failure. If Lessee (at its sole cost and expense) fails to take appropriate action to contain or remediate such a release or take other actions required under Applicable Laws or this Asset Lease within 30 days of Lessor’s reasonable notice, Lessor may, without further notice to Lessee, take such actions for Lessee’s account. Within 30 days following the date Lessor delivers to Lessee evidence of payment for those actions by Lessor reasonably necessary to contain or remediate a release or otherwise achieve compliance with Applicable Laws or this Asset Lease because of Lessee’s failure to do so, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor all amounts paid by Lessor on Lessee’s behalf.

ARTICLE VII

TAXES, ASSESSMENTS

7.1 Lessor’s Obligation to Pay. Lessor shall pay during the Term, and without duplication under Section 6.1 of the Master Lease, all federal, state and local real and personal property ad valorem taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, of any Governmental Authority, including assessments for public improvements or benefits, assessed against or with respect to the Premises, the RDU Assets or improvements thereto, including all Additional Improvements, or the use or operation thereof during the Term that are payable to any lawful Governmental Authority, including any federal, state or local income, gross receipts, withholding, franchise, excise, sales, use, value added, recording, transfer or stamp tax, levy, duty, charge or withholding of any kind imposed or assessed by any federal, state or local government, agency or authority, together with any addition to tax, penalty, fine or interest thereon, other than state or U.S. federal income tax imposed upon the taxable income of Lessee and any franchise taxes imposed upon Lessee (such taxes and assessments being hereinafter called “Taxes”). In the event that Lessor fails to pay its share of such Taxes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.1 prior to the time the same become delinquent, Lessee may pay the same and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee all amounts paid by Lessee on Lessor’s behalf within 30 days following the date Lessee delivers to Lessor evidence of such payment.

7.2 Manner of Payment. Upon notice by Lessor to Lessee, Lessor and Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the RDU Assets (including all Additional Improvements) to be separately assessed for purposes of Taxes as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date (to the extent allowed by Applicable Law). During the Term but subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, Lessor shall pay all Taxes assessed directly against the RDU Assets and the Additional Improvements directly to the applicable taxing authority prior to delinquency and shall promptly thereafter provide Lessee with evidence of such payment. Until such time as Lessor and Lessee can cause the RDU Assets and the Additional Improvements to be separately assessed as provided above, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee, upon request, for any such Taxes paid by Lessee to the applicable taxing authorities (such reimbursement to be based upon the mutual agreement of the Lessor and Lessee as to the portion of such Taxes attributable to the RDU Assets and the Additional Improvements), subject to the terms of Section 7.1. The certificate issued or given by the appropriate officials authorized or designated by law to issue or give the same or to receive payment of such Taxes shall be prima facie evidence of the existence, payment, nonpayment and amount of such Taxes. Lessor may contest the validity or amount of any such Taxes or the valuation of the RDU Assets and/or the Additional Improvements (to the extent any of the foregoing may be separately issued), at Lessor’s sole cost and expense, by appropriate proceedings, diligently conducted in good faith in accordance with applicable Law. If Lessor contests such items then

Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor in any such contesting of the validity or amount of any such Taxes or the valuation of the RDU Assets and/or the Additional Improvements. Taxes for the first and last years of the Term shall be prorated between the Parties based on the portions of such years that are coincident with the applicable tax years and for which each applicable Party is responsible.

ARTICLE VIII

EMINENT DOMAIN; CASUALTY; INSURANCE

8.1 Total Condemnation of RDU Assets. As used in this Article VIII, the term “Condemnation Proceedings” means any actions or proceedings in which any interest in the Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful authority through exercise of the power of eminent domain or by purchase or other means in lieu of such exercise. If the whole of the RDU Assets and Additional Improvements are taken through Condemnation Proceedings, then this Asset Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such taking, other than such terms that survive termination as expressly provided herein; provided, however, that if such Condemnation Proceedings occur during the Initial Term, then all Lease Payments for the balance of the Initial Term shall immediately become due and payable and all other charges then owing hereunder shall be prorated as of such date; and provided further, that if such Condemnation Proceedings occur after the Initial Term, then all Lease Payments and all other charges then owing hereunder shall be prorated as of such date.

8.2 Partial Condemnation. If any part of the RDU Assets or Additional Improvements is taken through Condemnation Proceedings, and if in Lessee’s reasonable opinion such partial taking renders the RDU Assets unsuitable for the business of Lessee, then this Asset Lease shall terminate, other than such terms that survive termination as expressly provided herein, at Lessee’s election as of the date of such taking, provided Lessee delivers to Lessor written notice of such election to terminate within thirty (30) days following the date of such taking. In the event such termination occurs (a) during the Initial Term, then all Lease Payments for the balance of the Initial Term shall immediately become due and payable and all other charges then owing hereunder shall be prorated as of such date or (b) after the Initial Term, then all Lease Payments and all other charges then owing hereunder shall be prorated as of such date.

8.3 Damages and Right to Additional Property. Lessor shall be entitled to any award and all damages payable as a result of any Condemnation Proceedings in respect of the RDU Assets that do not otherwise belong to HFC Cheyenne pursuant to the Master Lease as a result of such Condemnation Proceedings in respect of the Premises. Lessee shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Lessor, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Lessee in Lessee’s own right on account of any and all damage to the Additional Improvements and/or Lessee’s business by reason of the condemnation and that does not otherwise belong to HFC Cheyenne pursuant to the Master Lease, including loss of value of any unexpired portion of the Term, and for or on account of any cost or loss to which Lessee might be put in removing Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment, including the Additional Improvements, from the RDU Assets.

8.4 Casualty Events. During any periods of time during which the RDU Assets or Additional Improvements are destroyed, damaged, or are being restored or reconstructed (each a “Casualty Event”) under the terms of this Section 8.4, Lease Payments hereunder shall (a) if such Casualty Event occurs during the Initial Term, not be abated or (b) if such Casualty Event occurs after the Initial Term, be abated in the proportion that Lessee’s use thereof is impacted by such Casualty Event, on the condition that Lessee takes commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the disruption to its business caused by such Casualty Event.

8.5 Insurance. Except as otherwise agreed by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee (or HFC Cheyenne pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Master Lease) shall, at all times during the Term, maintain or cause to be maintained property and casualty (including pollution insurance coverage) insurance on the Premises, RDU Assets and the Additional Improvements in accordance with customary industry practices and with a licensed, reputable carrier.

ARTICLE IX

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

9.1 Assignment Prohibition. Lessee shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, encumber, pledge or hypothecate this Asset Lease or Lessee’s interest in this Asset Lease, in whole or in part, or sublease the Premises or any part of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. At Lessor’s option, any assignment or sublease without Lessor’s prior written consent shall be void ab initio.

ARTICLE X

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES; TERMINATION

10.1 Default by Lessee. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Asset Lease by Lessee:

(b) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Asset Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, if such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice from Lessor of such failure; provided, however, if a reasonable time to cure such default would exceed thirty 30 days, Lessee shall not be in default so long as Lessee begins to cure such default within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice from Lessor and thereafter completes the curing of such default within reasonable period of time (under the circumstances) following the receipt of such written notice from Lessor; or

10.2 Lessor’s Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 10.1, (i) Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, at any time thereafter that such default or breach remains uncured, without further notice or demand, terminate this Asset Lease and Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises, RDU Assets and any Additional Improvements and forthwith repossess the Premises, RDU Assets and any Additional Improvements by any lawful means in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises, RDU Assets and any Additional Improvements to Lessor and (ii) if Lessor terminates this Asset Lease as provided in foregoing clause (i) during the Initial Term, all Lease Payments for the balance of the Initial Term shall immediately become due and payable, and (iii) any such action in foregoing clause (i) or (ii) on the part of Lessor shall be in addition to any other remedy that may be available to Lessor for arrears of Lease Payments, or breach of contract, or otherwise, including the right of setoff.

(b) If, by the terms of this Asset Lease, Lessee is required to do or perform any act or to pay any sum to a third party, and fails or refuses to do so, Lessor, after thirty (30) days written notice to

Lessee, without waiving any other right or remedy hereunder for such default, may do or perform such act, at Lessee’s expense, or pay such sum for and on behalf of Lessee, and the amounts so expended by Lessor shall be repayable on demand, and bear interest from the date expended by Lessor until paid at a rate equal to an interest rate equal to the “Prime Rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, Southwest Edition, in its listing of “Money Rates” plus two percent (2%) (the “Default Rate”). Past due Lease Payments and any other past due payments required hereunder shall bear interest from maturity until paid at the Default Rate.

10.3 Default by Lessor. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Asset Lease by Lessor:

(a) The failure by Lessor to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Asset Lease to be observed or performed by Lessor, if such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice from Lessee; provided, however, if a reasonable time to cure such default would exceed thirty (30) days, Lessor shall not be in default so long as Lessor begins to cure such default within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice from Lessee and thereafter completes the curing of such default within a reasonable period of time following the receipt of such written notice from Lessee; or

(b) The occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event of Lessor.

10.4 Lessee’s Remedies.

Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, deduct any such amounts so expended by Lessee from the Lease Payment and any other amounts owed hereunder and any such action on the part of Lessee shall be in addition to any other remedy that may be available to Lessee for default or breach of contract, or otherwise, including the right of setoff.

ARTICLE XI

11.1 Indemnification by Lessor. Lessor agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, save and keep harmless Lessee and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, unitholders, members, partners, managers, agents, employees, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Lessee Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, demands, claims (including claims involving strict or absolute liability in tort), actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, the “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Lessee Indemnified Parties, in any way and to the extent relating to or arising out of (a) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement made or undertaken by Lessor in this Asset Lease, or (b) the exercise of Lessor’s rights and obligations under Section 2.2; provided, however, Lessor shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Lessee Indemnified Parties for any such Claim under clauses (a) or (b) to the extent resulting from or arising out of the willful misconduct or negligence (standard negligence or gross negligence) of any of the Lessee Indemnified Parties. To the extent that the Lessee Indemnified Parties in fact receive full indemnification payments from Lessor under the indemnification provisions of this Section 11.1, Lessor shall be subrogated to the Lessee Indemnified Parties’ rights with respect to the transaction or event requiring or giving rise to such indemnity. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING

The acceptance of a Lease Payment hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular Lease Payment so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Lease Payment.

12.9 No Partnership or Joint Venture. The relationship between Lessor and Lessee at all times shall remain solely that of landlord and tenant and shall not be deemed a partnership or joint venture.

12.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the provisions of Article XI, this Asset Lease inures to the sole and exclusive benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their permitted sublessees and assigns, and confers no benefit on any third party.

12.11 Waiver of Landlord’s Lien. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lessor hereby expressly waives any and all liens (constitutional, statutory, contractual or otherwise) upon Lessee’s personal property now or hereafter installed or placed in or on the Premises, the RDU Assets or Additional Improvements, which otherwise might exist to secure payment of the sums herein provided to be paid by Lessee to Lessor.

12.12 Mutual Cooperation; Further Assurances. Upon request by either Party from time to time during the Term, each Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver all such other and additional instruments, notices and other documents and do all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Asset Lease and to more fully assure the Parties’ rights and interests provided for hereunder. Lessor and Lessee each agree to reasonably cooperate with the other on all matters relating to required Permits and regulatory compliance by either Lessee or Lessor in respect of the Premises, the RDU Assets or Additional Improvements so as to ensure continued full operation of the Premises, the RDU Assets or Additional Improvements by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Asset Lease.

This Section 12.13 shall survive the termination of this Asset Lease.

12.14 Binding Effect. Subject to Article IX, this Asset Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, sublessees and assigns.

12.15 Choice of Law. The provisions of this Asset Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might require the application of laws of another jurisdiction.

In the event of Lessor or Lessee being rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under this Asset Lease, other than to make payments due hereunder, it is agreed that on such Party’s giving notice and full particulars of such Force Majeure to the other Party as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the cause relied on, then the obligations of the Parties, so far as they are affected by such Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused but for no longer period, and such cause shall, as far as possible, be remedied with all reasonable dispatch. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party having the difficulty, and that the above requirements that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing party when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the Party having the difficulty. Notwithstanding anything in this Asset Lease to the contrary, inability of a Party to make payments when due, be profitable or to secure funds, arrange bank loans or other financing, obtain credit or have adequate capacity or production (other than for reasons of Force Majeure) shall not be regarded as events of Force Majeure.

12.17 Survival. All obligations of Lessor and Lessee that shall have accrued under this Asset Lease prior to the expiration or earlier termination hereof shall survive such expiration or termination to the extent the same remain unsatisfied as of the expiration or earlier termination of this Asset Lease as permitted herein. Lessor and Lessee further expressly agree that all provisions of this Asset Lease which contemplate performance after the expiration or earlier termination hereof shall survive such expiration or earlier termination of this Asset Lease as permitted herein.

12.18 AS IS, WHERE IS. LESSEE HEREBY ACCEPTS EACH OF THE RDU ASSETS AND THE PREMISES “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, AND “WITH ALL FAULTS”, AND LESSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, UNDER THIS ASSET LEASE AS TO THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PREMISES OR THE RDU ASSETS, INCLUDING THE RDU ASSETS’ MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY, CONDITION, FITNESS, OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE.
