Exhibit 10.26
REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENT,
GENERAL RELEASE & COVENANT NOT TO SUE
     This Reaffirmation Agreement, General Release, and Covenant Not To Sue
(“Agreement”) is entered into between Calumet GP, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Calumet”) and Allan A. Moyes, III, a resident of the State
of Indiana (“Moyes”), wherein the parties agree as follows:
     1. Incorporation of Terms of Prior Agreement. The Parties have entered into
a prior Professional Services and Transition Agreement, attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit A (“Prior Agreement”). The Parties specifically incorporate
by reference Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 of the Prior Agreement.
     2. Definition. Throughout this Agreement, the term “Calumet” or “Company”
when used alone, shall encompass the following: (a) Calumet GP, LLC, Calumet
Specialty Products Partners, L.P., and any subsidiary, parent company,
affiliated entity, related entity, predecessor entity, or division thereof; and
(b) any current or former partner, officer, director, trustee, agent, employee,
representative, insurer, or employee benefit or welfare program or plan
(including the administrators, trustees, fiduciaries, and insurers of such
program or plan) of an entity referenced in or encompassed by subparagraph 2(a).
     3. Employment. Moyes’ last day of employment shall be December 31, 2010.
Because Moyes is receiving and has received certain considerations under the
Prior Agreement, Moyes agrees not to seek, apply, or be considered for
reemployment with Calumet.
     4. Severance and Other Consideration. Upon Moyes’ departure from Calumet
GP, LLC and contingent upon Moyes executing this Agreement waiving any and all
claims of any kind against Calumet through his date of separation, Calumet GP,
LLC will provide the following:

  (a)   Assuming Moyes is eligible to and elects to continue health care
benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
(“COBRA”), 29 U.S.C. §1161, etseq., the Company will cover the applicable
premiums for the first thirty-two (32) weeks of Moyes’ COBRA coverage at the
same coverage level and the same cost level that was in effect for Moyes
immediately preceding receipt of this Agreement, together with an amount
reasonably determined by Calumet designed to ensure that the after-tax effect of
the provision of such coverage to Moyes would be the same as if he were employed
by Calumet. This benefit will be provided following satisfactory proof and
verification that Moyes is eligible for and elected to continue COBRA benefits.

  (b)   Calumet will transfer to Moyes the title to the 2009 Buick Enclave which
he is currently using as a company car free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances. Moyes shall be responsible for any costs and fees resulting from
the title transfer.

The benefits provided by Calumet GP, LLC in this Section reflect consideration
provided to Moyes over and above anything of value to which he already is
entitled, and shall be subject to all appropriate taxes, deductions, and
withholdings. Moyes confirms that there are no other benefits, wages, or
payments that remain unpaid or owing (other than possible retirement or pension
benefits, the eligibility and payment of which are governed by the applicable
plans).
     5. General Release and Waiver. Moyes (for himself, his agents, assigns,
heirs, executors, and administrators) releases and discharges Calumet from any
claim, demand, action, or cause of action, known or unknown, which arose at any
time from the beginning of time to the date he executes this Agreement, and
waives all claims relating to, arising out of, or in any way connected with his
interactions with the Company, his employment with Calumet GP, LLC or any
predecessor, the cessation of his employment, or the compensation or benefits
payable in connection with that employment or the cessation of that employment,
including (without limitation) any claim, demand, action, or cause of action,
including claims for attorneys’ fees, based on but not limited to: (a) Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e), etseq.;
(b) The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 12101,

Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009; (e) The Family and Medical Leave Act of
1993, 29 U.S.C. § 2601, etseq.; (f) the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C.

amended, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 etseq.; (i) The Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. §
1981 etseq.; (j) The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. §
621, etseq.; (k) any agreement, representation, promise, understanding, policy,
practice, plan, or potential entitlement (regardless of the source); (l) past or
future wages, severance, compensation, vacation pay, benefits, bonuses,
commissions, fringe benefits, or other forms of consideration, payment, or
remuneration, except for claims to enforce payment of those sums explicitly
identified in Paragraph 4; (m) The Indiana Civil Rights Law, Ind. Code 22-9-1,
etseq.; (n) any wage law including, without limitation, The Indiana Wage Payment
and Wage Claims Acts, Ind. Code 22-2-5-2, 22-2-2-4, 22-2-5-9, 22-2-9-1, etseq.;
(o) any other federal, state, or local law, whether arising or emanating from
statute, executive order, regulation, code, common law, or other source,
including, but not limited to, all actions sounding in tort, contract, and/or
any doctrine of good faith and fair dealing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement is not intended to operate as a waiver of any retirement or pension
benefits that are vested, the eligibility and entitlement to which shall be
governed by the terms of the applicable plan. Moreover, nothing in this
Paragraph or Agreement shall be interpreted to waive or extinguish any rights
which — by express and unequivocal terms of law — may not under any
circumstances be waived or extinguished or waive any right Moyes may have to
indemnification under any Calumet policy, plan, by-law or insurance policy.
     6. Covenant Not to Sue. Moyes agrees that he will never sue or file a
lawsuit against Calumet including, without limitation, any lawsuit concerning or
in any way related to his employment with Calumet or its predecessors, the
termination of that employment, the compensation or benefits payable in
connection with his employment, or any other interaction or relationship with
Calumet, and that no such suit is currently pending. Should Moyes violate any
aspect of this Section 6, Moyes agrees that any suit shall be null and void, and
must be summarily dismissed or withdrawn. Moyes also agrees that if a claim or
charge of any kind should be raised, brought, or filed in his name or on his
behalf, Moyes waives any right to, and agrees not to take, any resulting award.
This Paragraph and this Agreement shall not operate to waive or bar any claim
which — by express and unequivocal terms of law — may not under any
circumstances be waived or barred. Moreover, this Agreement shall not operate to
waive rights or claims under the ADEA if those rights or claims arise after the
date Moyes signs this Agreement, nor preclude Moyes from challenging the
validity of the Agreement under the ADEA or otherwise enforcing this Agreement
or from pursuing any claim not released by paragraph 5 above.
     7. Company and Personal Property. Moyes affirms that, by the time he
executes this Agreement, he has returned all equipment, documents, memoranda,
records, files, notes, diskettes, credit cards, keys, computers, and any other
matter or materials (from whatever source, including information electronically
stored) that is the property of, or that was purchased or provided by, Calumet,
including any copies of the foregoing.
     8. Conditions. Should Moyes ever breach any provision or obligation under
this Agreement, the parties agree that the range of remedies includes the
following:

  (a)   Moyes shall pay all damages (including, but not limited to, litigation
and/or defense costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by
Calumet following and/or as a result of Moyes’ breach if such breach is not
cured or corrected to Calumet’s satisfaction within fourteen (14) days of
Calumet mailing written notice of the breach to Moyes’ last known address.

  (b)   Moyes shall forego and no longer be entitled to any sum or benefit
remaining to be paid or conferred pursuant to this Agreement.

  (c)   Moyes shall — upon written request by Calumet GP, LLC to do so —
reimburse Calumet via certified check for the value of anything previously paid
or provided by Calumet to Section 4, save $500. In the event this reimbursement
provision is triggered, Moyes agrees that the remaining provisions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Nothing in this Section is intended to limit or restrict any other rights or
remedies Calumet may have by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise.
     9. Application. This Agreement shall apply to Moyes, as well as to Moyes’
heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and successors. This Agreement also
shall apply to, and inure to the benefit of, Calumet, the predecessors,
successors, and assigns of Calumet GP, LLC, and each past, present, or future
employee, agent, representative, officer, or director of Calumet GP, LLC.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     10. Disclaimer of Liability. This Agreement shall not be construed as an
admission of liability or wrong-doing by either party but is entered into in an
effort to provide Moyes with a transition package and part ways on an amicable
basis.
     11. Effective Date. This Agreement may only be accepted during the 21-day
period after Moyes receives this Agreement. In the event Moyes signs this

without revocation being exercised).
     12. Complete Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the complete agreement
between the parties relating to any and all payments or obligations owed or
potentially owed to Moyes by Calumet and to the other subjects identified
herein. Moyes acknowledges and agrees that, in executing this Agreement, he does
not rely and has not relied upon any representations or statements not set forth

Exhibit A
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND TRANSITION AGREEMENT
     This Professional Services and Transition Agreement (“Agreement”) is
entered into by and between Calumet GP, LLC a Delaware limited liability company
(“Calumet”) and Allan A. Moyes, III, a resident of the State of Indiana
(“Moyes”).
RECITALS

  A.   Moyes is employed by Calumet in the position of Executive Vice President.

  B.   The parties have agreed to terms which will permit Moyes to focus his
day-to-day activities on special project-related activities and eventually
conclude employment with Calumet.

  C.   In consideration for and conditioned upon Moyes’ continued performance of
services and eventual separation, Calumet has decided to offer certain benefits
and other consideration described below to assist Moyes, conditioned upon Moyes
(1) remaining employed in good standing through the anticipated date his
employment will end; and (2) Moyes agreeing to forever release and dispose of
all claims Moyes may have effective at the anticipated date his employment with
Calumet will end.

AGREEMENT
     1. Definition. Throughout this Agreement, the term “Calumet” or “Company”
when used alone, shall encompass the following: (a) Calumet, Calumet Specialty
Products Partners, L.P., and any subsidiary, parent company, predecessor,
affiliated entity, related entity, or division thereof; and (b) any current or
former partner, officer, director, trustee, agent, employee, representative,
insurer, or employee benefit or welfare program or plan (including the
administrators, trustees, fiduciaries, and insurers of such program or plan) of
an entity referenced in or encompassed by subSection 1(a).
     2. Transition of Services. Moyes will remain in the position of Executive
Vice President through December 31, 2010 and shall perform such duties as shall
be assigned from time-to-time by Calumet’s President and Chief Executive Officer
or its Board of Directors. Moyes understands that, as a result of his executing
this Agreement, his last day of service will be no later than December 31, 2010.
Moyes further understands that but for his entering into this Agreement, his
employment with Calumet would have ended no later than December 31, 2009.
Because Moyes is receiving certain considerations under this Agreement, Moyes
agrees not to seek, apply for, or be considered for reemployment with Calumet.
     3. Compensation During Transition Period and Other Consideration. In
consideration for entering into this Agreement and compliance with the terms of
this Agreement, Calumet shall provide Moyes with the following payments and
other consideration:

  (a)   Assuming he remains employed in good standing, (i.e., is not terminated
for cause pursuant to Section 8 and does not voluntarily leave employment,
become disabled, or die), and follows all Company policies and directives,
Calumet will continue to pay Moyes an annual base salary in the amount currently
in effect through December 31, 2010 pursuant to Calumet’s ordinary payroll
schedule and practices and subject to all applicable taxes and payroll
withholding obligations and similar deductions.

  (b)   Assuming he remains employed in good standing, (i.e., is not terminated
for cause pursuant to Section 8 and does not voluntarily leave employment,
become disabled, or die), and follows all Company policies and directives, Moyes
will be eligible to participate in any Calumet benefit plan(s) offered to
similarly-situated employees, including the Cash Incentive Plan, the Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan, the Long-Term Incentive Plan and any health or
welfare plan, in which he is currently participating or otherwise eligible to
participate, subject to the eligibility and other requirements and subject to
Moyes paying the employee portion of any premiums or contributions required by
the terms of the respective plans.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  (c)   Assuming Moyes is eligible to and elects to continue health care
benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
(“COBRA”), 29 U.S.C. §1161, et seq., Calumet will, beginning on January 1, 2011
cover or reimburse Moyes for the applicable premiums for the first 32 weeks of
Moyes’ COBRA coverage at the same coverage level and the same cost level that
was in effect for Moyes immediately preceding December 31, 2010, together with
an amount reasonably determined by Calumet designed to ensure that the after-tax
effect of the provision of such coverage to Moyes would be the same as if he
were employed by Calumet. This benefit will be provided following satisfactory
proof and verification that Moyes is eligible for and elected to continue COBRA
benefits. Moyes acknowledges and agrees that this benefit will not be provided
to him unless and until he signs a Reaffirmation Agreement, General Release and
Covenant Not To Sue, in a form substantially similar to that attached as
Exhibit A, waiving any and all claims of any kind against Calumet through his
separation; and

  (d)   Upon Moyes’ departure from Calumet and contingent upon Moyes executing
the Reaffirmation Agreement, General Release and Covenant Not To Sue on or after
his date of separation, Calumet will transfer to Moyes the title to the 2009
Buick Enclave which he is currently using as a company car free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances.

The payments assumed by Calumet in Sections 3(a) — (d) above each respectively
reflect consideration provided to Moyes over and above anything of value to
which he already is entitled and shall be subject to all appropriate taxes,
deductions, and withholdings. Moyes confirms that there are no other benefits,
wages, or payments that remain unpaid or owing (other than possible retirement
or pension benefits, the eligibility and payment of which are governed by the
applicable plans).
     4. General Release and Waiver. In exchange for the above-described
continued employment and other consideration, which Moyes acknowledges is in
addition to anything which Moyes is otherwise entitled, Moyes (for himself, his
agents, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators) releases and discharges
Calumet from any claim, demand, action, or cause of action, known or unknown,
which arose at any time from the beginning of time to the date he executes this
Agreement, and waives all claims relating to, arising out of, or in any way
connected with his interactions with the Company, his employment with Calumet or
any predecessor, the cessation of his employment, or the compensation or
benefits payable in connection with that employment or the cessation of that
employment, including (without limitation) any claim, demand, action, or cause
of action, including claims for attorneys’ fees, based on but not limited to:
(a) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e),
et seq.; (b) The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
§ 12101, et seq.; (c) The Equal Pay Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 206, et seq.;
(d) The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009; (e) The Family and Medical Leave

U.S.C. § 151, et seq.; (g) The Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as
amended, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq.; (h) The Fair Credit Reporting Act, as
amended, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.; (i) The Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. §
1981 et seq.; (j) The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. §
621, et seq.; (k) any agreement, representation, promise, understanding, policy,
practice, plan, or potential entitlement (regardless of the source); (l) past or
future wages, severance, compensation, vacation pay, benefits, bonuses,
commissions, fringe benefits, or other forms of consideration, payment, or
remuneration, except for claims to enforce payment of those sums explicitly
identified in Section 3; (m) The Indiana Civil Rights Law, Ind. Code 22-9-1, et
seq.; (n) any wage law including, without limitation, The Indiana Wage Payment
and Wage Claims Acts, Ind. Code 22-2-5-2, 22-2-2-4, 22-2-5-9, 22-2-9-1, et seq.;
(o) any other federal, state, or local law, whether arising or emanating from
statute, executive order, regulation, code, common law, or other source,
including, but not limited to, all actions sounding in tort, contract, and/or
any doctrine of good faith and fair dealing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement is not intended to operate as a waiver of any retirement or pension
benefits that are vested, the eligibility and entitlement to which shall be
governed by the terms of the applicable plan. Moreover, nothing in this Section
or Agreement shall be interpreted to waive or extinguish any rights which — by
express and unequivocal terms of law — may not under any circumstances be waived
or extinguished or waive any right Moyes may have to indemnification under any
Calumet policy, plan, by-law or insurance policy.
     5. Covenant Not to Sue. Moyes agrees that he will never sue or file a
lawsuit against Calumet including, without limitation, any lawsuit concerning or
in any way related to his employment with Calumet or its predecessors, the
termination of that employment, the compensation or benefits payable in
connection with his employment, or any other interaction or relationship with
Calumet, and that no such suit is currently pending.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Should Moyes violate any aspect of this Section, Moyes agrees that any suit
shall be null and void, and must be summarily dismissed or withdrawn. Moyes also
agrees that if a claim or charge of any kind should be raised, brought, or filed
in his name or on his behalf, Moyes waives any right to, and agrees not to take,
any resulting award. This Section and this Agreement shall not operate to waive
or bar any claim which — by express and unequivocal terms of law — may not under
any circumstances be waived or barred. Moreover, this Agreement shall not
operate to waive rights or claims under the ADEA if those rights or claims arise
after the date Moyes signs this Agreement, nor preclude Moyes from challenging
the validity of the Agreement under the ADEA or otherwise enforcing this
Agreement or pursuing any claim not released by paragraph 4 above.
     6. Return of Property. Moyes agrees that upon his separation of employment,
or sooner if demanded by Calumet, he will return all equipment, documents,
memoranda, records, files, notes, diskettes, credit cards, keys, computers, and
any other matter or materials (from whatever source, including information
electronically stored) that is the property or, or was purchased or provided by,
Calumet, including any copies of the foregoing.
     7. Non-Disclosure. Moyes agrees that: (a) Moyes will not use or disclose
confidential, sensitive, or proprietary information concerning Calumet obtained
by Moyes during his employment, or as a result of his position, with Calumet or
its predecessors. For purposes of this Agreement, “confidential information”
includes, without limitation, all materials and information (whether written or
not) about Calumet’s current or former employees (including their compensation,
benefits, or other personnel or personal information), contracts, business
plans, customers, suppliers, products, services, pricing, promotions, processes,
research, finances, purchasing, sales, marketing, accounting, costs,
improvements, discoveries, software, business methods, formulae, inventions,
quality, internal communications, production, output, profit margins, and/or any
other aspect of Calumet’s business or operations which are not generally known
by the public at large, which are not required to be disclosed by applicable
law, and/or which provide Calumet with a competitive advantage; (b) Moyes will
not make any legally impermissible statements or representations that disparage,
demean, or impugn Calumet, including without limitation any legally
impermissible statements impugning the personal or professional character of any
director, officer, or employee for Calumet, nor will Moyes encourage or assist
others to make any such statements or representations; and (c) Moyes will not
directly or indirectly seek to cause any person or organization to discontinue
or limit their current relationship with Calumet. Moyes agrees that the terms
and requirements in this Section are reasonably necessary to protect the
legitimate business interests of Calumet. Moyes acknowledges that disclosure of
the confidential information described in this Section would cause irreparable
harm to Calumet but in an amount incapable of precise determination. Should
Moyes violate this Section, Calumet shall be entitled to injunctive relief in
addition to any other available remedy or form of legal and equitable relief.
Moyes further acknowledges that this non-disclosure provision is a material
element of this Agreement and that consideration has been given for this
provision.
     8. Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Calumet may immediately terminate this Agreement and Moyes’ employment
prior to December 31, 2010 for cause upon written notice to Moyes. Calumet
agrees that before it terminates this Agreement for cause under subSection (b),
(c) or (d) below, it will give Moyes written notice of the reason(s) therefore
and a reasonable opportunity for Moyes to correct or cure the problem. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “cause” shall be defined as a determination
by Calumet that any one of the following events has occurred:

  (a)   The conviction of or plea of guilty or no contest by Moyes of any crime
constituting a felony, any crime involving moral turpitude, any crime involving
controlled substances, or driving under the influence of alcohol or any other
controlled substance;

  (b)   A material breach by Moyes of this Agreement;

  (c)   Conduct on the part of Moyes which is materially disruptive to Calumet;

  (d)   Failure to meet performance goals (as determined by Calumet);

Business Conduct and Ethics, the Insider Trading Policy, and the Electronic Mail
Usage and Public Internet Usage Policy.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  (g)   Moyes’ death or permanent disability, with “permanent disability” being
defined as a determination by Calumet in its sole discretion that Moyes is
unable to perform the essential functions of his position (with or without
reasonable accommodation) for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days, or for
an aggregate of ninety (90) total days in any twelve month period.

     9. Severability. The parties expressly agree that the terms of this
Agreement are reasonable and enforceable. Moreover, the provisions of this
Agreement are severable, and the invalidity of any one or more provisions shall
not affect or limit the enforceability of the remaining provisions. In the
unlikely event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the
terms, provisions, or covenants contained in this Agreement are unreasonable or
unenforceable, the court shall limit the application of such term, provision, or
covenant, or modify any such term, provision, or covenant, and proceed to
enforce the Agreement as so limited or modified, to the maximum extent permitted
by law.
     10. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, enforced, and
governed under the laws of Indiana, the state in which Calumet is headquartered.

this Agreement, the parties agree that the range of remedies includes the
following:

  (a)   Moyes shall pay all damages (including, but not limited to, litigation
and/or defense costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by
Calumet following and/or as a result of Moyes’ breach if such breach is not
cured or corrected to Calumet’s satisfaction within fourteen (14) days of
Calumet mailing written notice of the breach to Moyes’ last known address.

  (b)   Moyes shall forego and no longer be entitled to any sum or benefit
remaining to be paid or conferred pursuant to this Agreement.

  (c)   Moyes shall — upon written request by Calumet to do so — reimburse
Calumet via certified check for the value of anything previously paid or
provided by Calumet pursuant to subSections 3 (c) and (d), save $300. In the
event this reimbursement provision is triggered, Moyes agrees that the remaining
provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Nothing in this Section is intended to limit or restrict any other rights or
remedies Calumet may have by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise.
     12. Application. This Agreement shall apply to Moyes, as well as to Moyes’
heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and successors. This Agreement also
shall apply to, and inure to the benefit of, Calumet, the predecessors,
successors, and assigns of Calumet and each past, present, or future employee,
agent, representative, officer, or director of Calumet.
     13. Disclaimer of Liability. This Agreement shall not be construed as an
admission of liability or wrong-doing by either party but is entered into in an
effort to provide Moyes with a severance package and part ways on an amicable
basis.
     14. Effective Date. Moyes received an initial draft of this Agreement on or
about October 12, 2009 and subsequently requested changes thereto. The parties
agree that changes made to this Agreement shall not restart the running of the

Human Resources Department at Calumet; 2780 Waterfront Pkwy E. Dr., Suite 200,
Indianapolis, IN 46204 (fax: 317-293-9725). This Agreement shall not become
effective, and none of the benefits set forth in this Agreement will become due
or payable, until after the Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Effective

allotted 21-day period and the 7-day revocation period has expired without
revocation being exercised).

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     15. Complete Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the complete agreement
between the parties relating to any and all payments or obligations owed or

not rely and has not relied upon any representations or statements not set forth
herein made by Calumet with regard to the subject matter, basis, or effect of
this Agreement, the benefits to which Moyes is or may be entitled, or any other

EXHIBIT A
REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENT,
GENERAL RELEASE & COVENANT NOT TO SUE
     This Reaffirmation Agreement, General Release, and Covenant Not To Sue
(“Agreement”) is entered into between Calumet GP, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Calumet”) and Allan A. Moyes, III, a resident of the State
of Indiana (“Moyes”), wherein the parties agree as follows:
     1. Incorporation of Terms of Prior Agreement. The Parties have entered into
a prior Professional Services and Transition Agreement, attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit A (“Prior Agreement”). The Parties specifically incorporate
by reference Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 of the Prior Agreement.
     2. Definition. Throughout this Agreement, the term “Calumet” or “Company”
when used alone, shall encompass the following: (a) Calumet GP, LLC, Calumet
Specialty Products Partners, L.P., and any subsidiary, parent company,
affiliated entity, related entity, predecessor entity, or division thereof; and
(b) any current or former partner, officer, director, trustee, agent, employee,
representative, insurer, or employee benefit or welfare program or plan
(including the administrators, trustees, fiduciaries, and insurers of such
program or plan) of an entity referenced in or encompassed by subparagraph 2(a).
     3. Employment. Moyes’ last day of employment shall be December 31, 2010.
Because Moyes is receiving and has received certain considerations under the
Prior Agreement, Moyes agrees not to seek, apply, or be considered for
reemployment with Calumet.
     4. Severance and Other Consideration. Upon Moyes’ departure from Calumet
GP, LLC and contingent upon Moyes executing this Agreement waiving any and all
claims of any kind against Calumet through his date of separation, Calumet GP,
LLC will provide the following:

  (a)   Assuming Moyes is eligible to and elects to continue health care
benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
(“COBRA”), 29 U.S.C. §1161, et seq., the Company will cover the applicable
premiums for the first thirty-two (32) weeks of Moyes’ COBRA coverage at the
same coverage level and the same cost level that was in effect for Moyes
immediately preceding receipt of this Agreement, together with an amount
reasonably determined by Calumet designed to ensure that the after-tax effect of
the provision of such coverage to Moyes would be the same as if he were employed
by Calumet. This benefit will be provided following satisfactory proof and
verification that Moyes is eligible for and elected to continue COBRA benefits.

  (b)   Calumet will transfer to Moyes the title to the 2009 Buick Enclave which
he is currently using as a company car free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances. Moyes shall be responsible for any costs and fees resulting from
the title transfer.

The benefits provided by Calumet GP, LLC in this Section reflect consideration
provided to Moyes over and above anything of value to which he already is
entitled, and shall be subject to all appropriate taxes, deductions, and
withholdings. Moyes confirms that there are no other benefits, wages, or
payments that remain unpaid or owing (other than possible retirement or pension
benefits, the eligibility and payment of which are governed by the applicable
plans).
     5. General Release and Waiver. Moyes (for himself, his agents, assigns,
heirs, executors, and administrators) releases and discharges Calumet from any
claim, demand, action, or cause of action, known or unknown, which arose at any
time from the beginning of time to the date he executes this Agreement, and
waives all claims relating to, arising out of, or in any way connected with his
interactions with the Company, his employment with Calumet GP, LLC or any
predecessor, the cessation of his employment, or the compensation or benefits
payable in connection with that employment or the cessation of that employment,
including (without limitation) any claim, demand, action, or cause of action,
including claims for attorneys’ fees, based on but not limited to: (a) Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e), et seq.;
(b) The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 12101,
et seq.; (c) The Equal Pay Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 206, et seq.; (d) The

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009; (e) The Family and Medical Leave Act of
1993, 29 U.S.C. § 2601, et seq.; (f) the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C.
§ 151, et seq.; (g) The Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, 29
U.S.C. § 1001 et seq.; (h) The Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C.
§ 1681 et seq.; (i) The Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. § 1981 et seq.;
(j) The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq.;
(k) any agreement, representation, promise, understanding, policy, practice,
plan, or potential entitlement (regardless of the source); (l) past or future
wages, severance, compensation, vacation pay, benefits, bonuses, commissions,
fringe benefits, or other forms of consideration, payment, or remuneration,
except for claims to enforce payment of those sums explicitly identified in
Paragraph 4; (m) The Indiana Civil Rights Law, Ind. Code 22-9-1, et seq.;
(n) any wage law including, without limitation, The Indiana Wage Payment and
Wage Claims Acts, Ind. Code 22-2-5-2, 22-2-2-4, 22-2-5-9, 22-2-9-1, et seq.;
(o) any other federal, state, or local law, whether arising or emanating from
statute, executive order, regulation, code, common law, or other source,
including, but not limited to, all actions sounding in tort, contract, and/or
any doctrine of good faith and fair dealing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement is not intended to operate as a waiver of any retirement or pension
benefits that are vested, the eligibility and entitlement to which shall be
governed by the terms of the applicable plan. Moreover, nothing in this
Paragraph or Agreement shall be interpreted to waive or extinguish any rights
which — by express and unequivocal terms of law — may not under any
circumstances be waived or extinguished or waive any right Moyes may have to
indemnification under any Calumet policy, plan, by-law or insurance policy.
     6. Covenant Not to Sue. Moyes agrees that he will never sue or file a
lawsuit against Calumet including, without limitation, any lawsuit concerning or
in any way related to his employment with Calumet or its predecessors, the
termination of that employment, the compensation or benefits payable in
connection with his employment, or any other interaction or relationship with
Calumet, and that no such suit is currently pending. Should Moyes violate any
aspect of this Section 6, Moyes agrees that any suit shall be null and void, and
must be summarily dismissed or withdrawn. Moyes also agrees that if a claim or
charge of any kind should be raised, brought, or filed in his name or on his
behalf, Moyes waives any right to, and agrees not to take, any resulting award.
This Paragraph and this Agreement shall not operate to waive or bar any claim
which — by express and unequivocal terms of law — may not under any
circumstances be waived or barred. Moreover, this Agreement shall not operate to
waive rights or claims under the ADEA if those rights or claims arise after the
date Moyes signs this Agreement, nor preclude Moyes from challenging the
validity of the Agreement under the ADEA or otherwise enforcing this Agreement
or from pursuing any claim not released by paragraph 5 above.
     7. Company and Personal Property. Moyes affirms that, by the time he
executes this Agreement, he has returned all equipment, documents, memoranda,
records, files, notes, diskettes, credit cards, keys, computers, and any other
matter or materials (from whatever source, including information electronically
stored) that is the property of, or that was purchased or provided by, Calumet,
including any copies of the foregoing.
     8. Conditions. Should Moyes ever breach any provision or obligation under
this Agreement, the parties agree that the range of remedies includes the
following:

  (a)   Moyes shall pay all damages (including, but not limited to, litigation
and/or defense costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by
Calumet following and/or as a result of Moyes’ breach if such breach is not
cured or corrected to Calumet’s satisfaction within fourteen (14) days of
Calumet mailing written notice of the breach to Moyes’ last known address.

  (b)   Moyes shall forego and no longer be entitled to any sum or benefit
remaining to be paid or conferred pursuant to this Agreement.

  (c)   Moyes shall — upon written request by Calumet GP, LLC to do so —
reimburse Calumet via certified check for the value of anything previously paid
or provided by Calumet to Section 4, save $500. In the event this reimbursement
provision is triggered, Moyes agrees that the remaining provisions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Nothing in this Section is intended to limit or restrict any other rights or
remedies Calumet may have by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise.
     9. Application. This Agreement shall apply to Moyes, as well as to Moyes’
heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and successors. This Agreement also
shall apply to, and inure to the benefit of, Calumet, the predecessors,

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

successors, and assigns of Calumet GP, LLC, and each past, present, or future
employee, agent, representative, officer, or director of Calumet GP, LLC.
     10. Disclaimer of Liability. This Agreement shall not be construed as an
admission of liability or wrong-doing by either party but is entered into in an
effort to provide Moyes with a transition package and part ways on an amicable
basis.
     11. Effective Date. This Agreement may only be accepted during the 21-day
period after Moyes receives this Agreement. In the event Moyes signs this
Agreement within the twenty-one (21) days following his receipt of this

between the parties relating to any and all payments or obligations owed or
potentially owed to Moyes by Calumet and to the other subjects identified
