period of time after it shall become aware of facts giving rise to a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Article II, it will provide notice thereof in

provided, however, that no MLP Indemnified Party shall submit claims more
frequently than once a calendar quarter (or twice in the case of the last
calendar quarter prior to the expiration of the applicable indemnity coverage
under this Agreement); provided, further, that failure to timely provide such
notice shall not affect the right of the MLP Indemnified Party’s indemnification
hereunder, except to the extent DMI is materially prejudiced by such delay or
omission.

(b)DMI shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any
counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the MLP Indemnified
Party that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article II,
including, without limitation, the selection of counsel (provided that such
counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the MLP Indemnified Parties),
determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of
any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such

strategic decisions, which DMI shall consider in good faith, (iii) DMI
diligently and promptly pursues the completion of the Environmental Activity so
as to attain Environmental Closure, and (iv) DMI complies with the requirements
of Section 2.4.  Where imposition of an activity or use limitation as part of

covenant, or other instrument required in order to effectuate the
limitation.  DMI’s indemnification obligations with respect to the remediation

therewith DMI agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on
the operations of the MLP Indemnified Parties and further agree to reasonably
maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information
furnished by the MLP Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 2.3.  In no
event shall the obligation of the MLP Indemnified Parties to cooperate with DMI
as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon
the MLP Indemnified Parties an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in
connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set
forth in this Article II; provided, however, that the MLP Indemnified Parties
may, at their option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection
with any such defense.  DMI agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the MLP
Indemnified Parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such defense,
but DMI shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.

(e)In determining the amount of any Losses for which the MLP Indemnified Parties
are entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the
indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the
MLP Indemnified Parties, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of
any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the MLP
Indemnified Parties as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by
the MLP Indemnified Parties under contractual indemnities from third parties or
under state underground storage tank indemnification programs (“State
Programs”).  The MLP Indemnified Parties hereby agree to use commercially
reasonable efforts to realize any applicable insurance proceeds or amounts
recoverable under such contractual indemnities and State Programs; provided,
however, that the costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs
and reasonable attorneys’ fees or State Program fees) of the MLP Indemnified
Parties in connection with such efforts shall be promptly reimbursed by DMI.  To
the extent that DMI has made any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of
a claim for which the MLP Indemnified Parties have asserted a related claim for
insurance proceeds or under a contractual indemnity or a State Program, DMI
shall be subrogated to the rights of the MLP Indemnified Parties to receive the
proceeds of such insurance or contractual indemnity or State Programs.

the terms and conditions of the 2012 Omnibus Agreement.  The Pre-2014 Services
include the Services provided by DMI under the Transition Services Agreement.

3.2CK Information. It is contemplated by the Parties that, during the Term, the
General Partner will be required to provide certain notices, information and
data necessary for CK to perform the Services and its obligations under this
Agreement.  CK shall be permitted to rely on any information or data provided by
the General Partner to CK in connection with the performance of its duties and
provision of Services under this Agreement, except to the extent that CK has
actual knowledge that such information or data is inaccurate or incomplete.

Article IV
STANDARD OF CARE

4.1Standard of Performance.  Subject to the liability standard set forth in
Article VI, CK shall (and shall cause its applicable subsidiaries, excluding the
MLP Group, to) provide Services (a) using at least the same level of care,
quality, timeliness and skill in providing the Services as it employs for itself
and its Affiliates and no less than the same degree of care, quality,
timeliness, and skill as the applicable Person’s past practice in performing
like services for itself and its Affiliates, and (b) in any event, using no less
than a reasonable level of care in accordance with industry standards, in
compliance with all applicable laws.

4.2Procurement of Goods and Services.  To the extent that CK is permitted to
arrange for contracts with third parties for goods and services in connection
with the provision of the Services, CK shall use commercially reasonable efforts
(a) to obtain such goods and services at rates competitive with those otherwise
generally available in the area in which services or materials are to be
furnished, and

11

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

 

(b) to obtain from such third parties such customary warranties and guarantees
as may be reasonably required with respect to the goods and services so
furnished.

4.3Protection from Liens.  CK shall not permit any liens, encumbrances or
charges upon or against any of the Properties arising from the provision of
Services or materials under this Agreement except as approved, or consented to,
by the General Partner.

4.4Commingling of Assets.  To the extent CK shall have charge or possession of
any of the General Partner’s or the MLP Group’s assets in connection with the
provision of the Services, CK shall separately maintain, and not commingle, the
assets of the General Partner or the MLP Group with those of CK or any other
Person.

4.5Insurance. CK shall obtain and maintain during the Term from insurers who are
reliable and acceptable to the General Partner and authorized to do business in
the state or states or jurisdictions in which Services are to be performed by
CK, insurance coverages in the types and minimum limits as the Parties determine
to be appropriate and as is consistent with standard industry practice and CK’s
past practices.  CK agrees upon the General Partner’s request from time to time
or at any time to provide the General Partner with certificates of insurance
evidencing such insurance coverage and, upon request of the General Partner,
shall furnish copies of such policies.  Except with respect to workers’
compensation coverage, the policies shall name the General Partner and the
Partnership as additional insureds and shall contain waivers by the insurers of
any and all rights of subrogation to pursue any claims or causes of action
against the General Partner and the Partnership.  The policies shall provide
that they will not be cancelled or reduced without giving the General Partner at
least 30 days’ prior written notice of such cancellation or reduction.  The
insurance policies and coverages shall be reviewed with the Board at least
annually, beginning with the first Board meeting following the Effective Date.

4.6Third-Party Intellectual Property.  If CK uses or licenses intellectual
property owned by third parties in the performance of the Services, CK shall
obtain and maintain any such licenses and authorizations necessary to authorize
its use of such intellectual property in connection with the Services.

Article V
REIMBURSEMENT FOR CK AND THIRD PARTY SERVICES

5.1CK Services Reimbursement.

(a)The Partnership shall reimburse CK for providing the Services set forth in
paragraph A of Exhibit A in an amount equal to the cost incurred by CK for
providing such Services (the “CK Reimbursement”).  Due to the fact that the
management team of the Partnership is also managing the wholesale fuels business
of CK, the allocation of costs to the Partnership and to CK is based on CK’s
estimates of the time anticipated to be spent by its personnel during the
initial year of this Agreement in providing the Services, in the percentage
allocation set forth on Exhibit B hereto. Such allocation shall be reviewed by
the Partnership and CK as needed, but no less than once every fiscal year, as
set forth in paragraph (b) below. The CK Reimbursement shall be due and payable
as soon as practicable after CK invoices the Partnership for the costs incurred
by CK and the Partnership has had a reasonable opportunity to review the such
invoice, including reports provided by CK to the Partnership that support the
costs on the invoice. CK shall invoice the Partnership on a quarterly basis.  

12

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

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CK Reimbursement shall be reduced to the
extent that all or a portion of the Services provided hereunder are purchased
from another party.

(b)At the end of each calendar year (i) the Partnership shall have the right to
submit to CK a proposal to reduce the amount of the CK Reimbursement for such
year if the Partnership believes, in good faith, that the Services performed by
CK for the benefit of the Partnership for such year do not justify payment of
the amount of CK Reimbursement paid by the Partnership for such year; and
(ii) CK shall have the right to submit to the Partnership a proposal to increase
the amount of the CK Reimbursement for such year if CK believes, in good faith,
that the Services performed by CK for the benefit of the Partnership for such
year justify an increase in the CK Reimbursement for such year.  If either Party
submits such a proposal, CK and the Partnership shall negotiate in good faith to
determine if the CK Reimbursement for such year should be reduced or increased,
and, if so, the amount of such reduction or increase.  If the Parties agree that
the CK Reimbursement for that year should be reduced, then CK shall promptly pay
to the Partnership the amount of any reduction for such year and if the Parties
agree that the CK Reimbursement for such year should be increased, then the
Partnership shall promptly pay to CK the amount of any increase for such
year.  In addition, during the course of the year, the Conflicts Committee shall
review the CK Reimbursement upon an MLP Change of Control or any other material
change in the structure of the Partnership or its business to ensure that it is
fair to the Partnership and to CK. If the Conflicts Committee determines that,
based on an MLP Change of Control or any other material change in the structure
of the Partnership or its business, the CK Reimbursement should be modified or
otherwise altered, CK and the Partnership shall negotiate in good faith to
determine the appropriate modification or alteration of the CK Reimbursement and
reflect such changes in a revised Exhibit B.

5.2CK Reimbursement.

(a)Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph A of Exhibit A, the MLP
shall reimburse CK for all reasonable out of pocket third party fees, costs,
taxes and expenses incurred by CK or the General Partner on the Partnership’s or
its subsidiaries’ behalf in connection with providing the Services required to
be provided by CK hereunder, including, but not limited to:

(i)legal, accounting and other fees and expenses associated with being a public
company;

(ii)expenses related to the Partnership’s financings, mergers, acquisitions or
dispositions of assets, and other similar transactions;

(iii)expenses related to insurance coverage for the Partnership’s assets or
operations;

(iv)sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes with respect to the
services provided by CK to the Partnership;

(v)costs and expenses of Environmental Activity, including, remediation costs or
expenses incurred in connection with environmental liabilities and third party
claims, that are based on environmental conditions that first arise at
Properties following the Effective Date; and

13

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

 

(vi)cost or expenses incurred in connection with the Partnership’s environmental
compliance, including, but not limited to, storage tank compliance and
registration, as well as compliance monitoring and oversight expenses.

(b)Reimbursement of the out of pocket third party fees, costs, taxes and
expenses set forth in Section 5.2(a) shall be paid promptly by the Partnership
to CK upon receipt by the General Partner of an invoice from CK setting forth
amounts due under Section 5.2(a). If requested by the General Partner, CK’s
invoice therefor shall provide reasonably detailed documentation supporting such
costs and expenses.

5.3Taxes.  The MLP shall be responsible for all applicable Taxes levied on
items, goods or services that are sold, purchased or obtained for the provision
of Services under this Agreement, including any Taxes in respect of the
Services.

5.4Disputed Reimbursements.

(a)The General Partner may, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from CK,
take written exception to any fees, costs, taxes and expenses described in
Section 5.2(a) on the ground that the same was not a reasonable fee, cost, tax
or expense incurred by CK in connection with the provision of Services.  The
General Partner shall nevertheless pay CK in full when due the invoiced
amount.  Such payment shall not be deemed a waiver of the right of the General
Partner to recoup any contested portion of any amount so paid.  However, if the
amount as to which such written exception is taken, or any part thereof, is
ultimately determined not to be a reasonable fee, cost, tax and expense incurred
by CK in connection with the provision of Services, such amount or portion
thereof (as the case may be) shall be refunded by CK to the General Partner
together with interest thereon at the lesser of (i) the prime rate per annum
established by the administrative agent under the revolving credit agreement of
the MLP, as applicable, as in effect on the date of payment by the General
Partner in respect of such contested invoice or (ii) the maximum lawful rate
during the period from the date of payment by the General Partner to the date of
refund by CK.

(b)If, within 20 days after receipt of any written exception pursuant to
Section 5.4(a), the General Partner and CK have been unable to resolve any
dispute, and if (i) such dispute relates to whether amounts were properly
charged or Services actually performed and (ii) the aggregate amount in dispute
exceeds $100,000, either of the General Partner or CK may submit the dispute to
an independent third party auditing firm that is mutually agreeable to the MLP
Group, on the one hand, and CK, on the other hand.  The Parties shall cooperate
with such auditing firm and shall provide such auditing firm access to such
books and records as may be reasonably necessary to permit a determination by
such auditing firm.  The resolution by such auditing firm shall be final and
binding on the Parties.

12.3Entire Agreement.  Other than the Contribution Agreement, this Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the matters
contained herein, superseding all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral or
written, relating to the matters contained herein.

12.4Jointly Drafted.  This Agreement, and all the provisions of this Agreement,
shall be deemed drafted by all of the Parties, and shall not be construed
against any Party on the basis of that Party’s role in drafting this Agreement.

12.5Effect of Waiver or Consent.  No waiver or consent, express or implied, by
any Party of or to any breach or default by any Person in the performance by
such Person of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a
consent or waiver of or to any other breach or default in the performance by
such Person of the same or any other obligations of such Person
hereunder.  Failure on the part of a Party to complain of any act of any Person
or to declare any Person in default, irrespective of how long such failure
continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights hereunder
until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.

12.6Amendment or Modification.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only
from time to time by the written agreement of the Parties; provided, however,
that the MLP may not, without the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee,
agree to any amendment or modification of this Agreement that, in the reasonable
discretion of the General Partner (a) would have a material adverse effect on
the holders of Common Units or (b) materially limit or impair the rights of the
MLP or reduce the obligations of DMI, DMS or Topper under this Agreement.  Each
such instrument shall be reduced to writing and shall be designated on its face
an “Amendment” to this Agreement.

12.7Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  None of the Parties shall have
the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of all other Parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
merger of a Party shall not be deemed to be an assignment or transfer of its
rights or a delegation of its obligations under this Agreement.  Furthermore,
the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a Party shall not be
deemed an assignment or transfer of its rights or a delegation of its
obligations under this Agreement if the assignee assumes all of the obligations
under this Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely
by the Parties (including

22

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

 

any permitted assignee), and no limited partner or member of the MLP or other
Person shall have the right, separate and apart from the Parties hereto, to
enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party to comply with
the terms of this Agreement.

12.8Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
(including by facsimile or other electronic transmission) with the same effect
as if all signatory Parties had signed the same document.  All counterparts
shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

12.9Relationship of the Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
to create a partnership or joint venture or give rise to any fiduciary or
similar relationship of any kind.

12.10Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application
thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid or unenforceable to
any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such
provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and
shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

12.11Further Assurances.  In connection with this Agreement and all transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, each Party agrees to execute and deliver such
additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may
be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.

12.12Withholding or Granting of Consent.  Except as expressly provided to the
contrary in this Agreement, each Party may, with respect to any consent or
approval that it is entitled to grant pursuant to this Agreement, grant or
withhold such consent or approval in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, with
or without cause, and subject to such conditions as it shall deem appropriate.

12.13Laws and Regulations.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, no Party shall be required to take any act, or fail to take any
act, under this Agreement if the effect thereof would be to cause such Party to
be in violation of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation.

12.14No Recourse Against Officers, Directors, Managers or Employees. For the
avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Agreement shall not give rise to any
right of recourse against any officer, director, manager or employee of DMI, CK,
the General Partner or any of their respective Affiliates.

third-party.

Expenses incurred for such third-party services shall be reimbursed by the MLP.

B.The following services will also be provided by, or on behalf of, CK;
provided, however, such services may be outsourced to an independent third party

C.Lehigh Gas Wholesale LLC (“LGW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Partnership, is party to a Merchandising Services Agreement (the “Merchandising
Services Agreement”) with Circle K Procurement and Brands Limited, an Irish
limited company and an affiliate of the Partnership (“CKPB”), dated December 17,
2017, pursuant to which CKPB provides certain merchandising services to LGW,
such as the inclusion of LGW’s wholesale transportation contracts in CKPB’s
global contract

A-

renegotiations. In exchange for the significant savings realized and expected to
be realized by CKPB on behalf of LGW under the Merchandising Services Agreement,
LGW has agreed to pay to CKPB a commission of $0.001165/gallon under LGW’s
contracts that are included in CKPB’s merchandising services. Such rate may be
updated as supported by a transfer pricing study. For the avoidance of doubt,
such commission is payable by LGW to CKPB in addition to the CK Reimbursement
payable by the Partnership under this Agreement.

D.RFP One-Time Reimbursement.  

With the assistance of CK, the MLP in 2018 conducted a strategic review of the
MLP’s aggregate fuel supply portfolio to identify improvements to the MLP’s fuel
branding and supply chain (the “RFP”). The results of the RFP were implemented
in 2019. In connection with the RFP, the Conflicts Committee authorized a
one-time payment by the MLP in the amount of $183,692 to reimburse CK for costs
incurred in connection with the RFP.
